I managed to brake my second gearbox in my quiky during the week so this weekend i decided to change my 110k engine for a 36k engine out of another quiky i have.

toe rope to lift the car was not the brightest of ideas but it worked.

ive still got few more tweeks to get her lookin presentable gen, needs new windscreen as a fookin wagon as cracked all mine, changing the doors off the other one onto mine. the sand blaster in work is going to do my rocker cover and manfold heat shield n then i can paint them so the engine looks nicer. Then i mite be happy, well if i had silver mirrors too actually.
