its now in 1000 pieces and to be fair it all looks pretty good, not too much to mess about with!

I dont get too much time to work on it so im sure this will drag on for a while :)

So whats the plans for this engine......? Rebuild or just freshen things up

[Grants13]

Going for a full re-build,

nothing crazy though, new internals, liners, bearings and shells, 270 cam, some stiffer valve springs and a t2/t25 jobby.

but mainly just replacing bits, water pump, oil pump etc etc.

once thats all sorted I'm on the hunt for a shell, going for a campus, simply because I'm into them, not feeling the arch trims etc these days

just waiting for bits to turn up :coffee:

Sleeper project sounds ace. It should be easy enough to find a decent campus to use, I see them popping up fairly regularly on facebook with reasonable prices as well

I did consider a campus conversion myself before I found my current shell, maybe one day i will do one :D

Great to see a sleeper sporting the C1J lump :agree: :).
