Got me a new engine!!!!!!!!!

[awj72]

Happy as a pig in shit!!!!!!!!!! After all my haggling with myself, I've managed to get an engine for my baby. So lots of big 's from me!!

Big thanks to all of you who offered opinions & basically kicked my arse into fixing her instead of binning it at the first sign of a problem

Awww nice one mate, I remember your topics of sheer desperation...all those questions about what engine fits what frame. All of which I contributed nothing to....

Glad to hear it So, many miles and what price was it? Of course, the biggie: Where did you buy it? Ebay?

[awj72]

Topics of sheer desparation?? That's putting it lightly don't you think? You're fuggin spot on though mate.

Cost £205, & t's this one here

The one with the lass on the 400?

[Kickstart]

Hi

Err, are you sure that is the right engine? That is down as a '87 to '90 engine and yours is the later model. Thought the engine was quite a bit different. Or is that the wrong advert?

All the best
