Patience is thinning.
Had to change the water pump after that.
If anyone wants to offer money for this, go ahead!
Spent the majority of a day underneath the car.
Got the diff in, ppf and the rest all bolted up. Dropped the car down, started it up and moved it. Delighted.
All seems well

Tiny update.
Got the new engine cleaned up and dropped in with the help of some mates. Started up first crank!
If I gain anything at the end of this, it will be that I can swap an mx5 engine...
...... ;)
Bump.
Great, rare, head turning classic car, will consider any swap! Worth a lot of money to the right buyer but will swap for a nice jap. (car)
Any follow up on this?
McCready, he is after an FD rx7, but he might consider an FC or earlier if he knew some spec etc about it ! Ill ask him.
Thanks!

Thanks boys. Yet another engine will be bought soon, and it will be the last one! Or a new head, we'll see.
Cork is on my list of places never to go, but I could make an exception for races.
Rhys, this will never be done :rolleyes: 2 years later and all we have out is the Engine...

Non mx5 or drift related, I just want to show people the sheer size of a citroen c4 vts back box.

Sold.....
