agree with you not the most powerful engine
goin to fit 40s/45s and set of cams aswell before it goes in, should take it to 160bhp+
but i dont have the funds for a yb. maybe some stage down the line
i have a 24v sierra which is more than fast enough to keep me happy

the underneath and bodywork is like new, car has never seen or needs a welder
paintwork isnt the best because it was sitting for so long, getting sprayed anyway.
I'd be pretty pissed off if my new car was delivered in that condition underneath
Does look in good solid order though.

car hadnt moved in probably 6/7 years, its gettin resealed and painted underneath
its just the exhaust and back axle that lets it down cause of the rust, and the back axle is getting swapped for a disc brake back end anyway so no point cleaning it

yeah, the running gear/engine will probably stay basic for a few months, just serviced up abit until after its painted
but the underside/bay etc will be all resealed and painted aswell along with the suspension
