I,m taking the zed off the road to do a major overhaul , found a low mileage engine , got a manual conversion also off a different low mileage car , a pair of manual tubs which i,m rebuilding with 360degree bearings and staggered gap rear seals , a boost controller , front mount intercooler .

I want to remove the hicas and smooth the seams in the engine bay before repainting ( might change the colour yet ! ) and removing as much stuff off the inner wings to keep it looking uncluttered .

Might change the front bumper yet for a WW one then sort the bodywork which does need rear arches fitting , if i get all that done i,d like to sort the interior out !!

Should keep me busy for a few years ! lol

Oh yeah the new car....

I was in need of a load lugger and won this on fleabay , 204000 miles and runs and drives as sweet as a nut , pity it,s not a T5 :blushing::blushing:

So if anyone needs an engine which actually runs pretty much perfectly it,s just on the low side on the compression readings , but i,m getting smoke occasionaly on tickover from the O/S ( tubby seals ) or an auto box , they,re both still in the car so can be tested , let me know .

Lol. I'm doing exactly the same to my car apart from the front mount. Can't get motivated though as I've done it all before :/. Volvo looks sweet I wanted one years ago but feared for my street cred getting an estate at 23. I got a Renault instead lol

what sort of price you after for the engine?

Nice motor mate :thumbup:I had a 850 T5 some years ago and loved it great estate but was very sore on front tyres:yes:

I,m open to offers bud .
