as has been said, would love to help someone out, but where do you draw the line?

i had to have a complete set of new valves, new head gasket, head skim etc recently. i've got to change my block sometime cos it's got a crack in it. nobody is helping me out.

when you buy these cars, it's in for a penny, in for a pound.

sorry maria, nothing against you. hope you get it sorted soon. and well done to those who are charitable / wealthy enough to help you out the community spirit on here is a wonderful thing
