its got to be the quietest engine ive ever heared it wasnt running when i looked at it the cam belt had jumped a tooth and the batt was flat so before i picked up tonite me and my mate done a cambelt on the drive way of mateys house and a new batt and bang it started it didnt even tap even tho it had been sitting on the drive for 5 years. i also fitted a new rear quarter glass so all is secure aswell. the guy i got it off was rather fucked off that i got it running and drove it home instead of the trailer lol
