Well I took the Gemmi to a mechanic today, and all it was was a fucked sparkplug and something else but I forgot what. I checked all that shit 4 or 5 times. Oh, and compression in cyclinder 2 or 3 is 70. Sooo.. Ill be finding a new motor soon. I might go a worked G161 since I cant be fucked going thru Regency with a G200 or something similar. Im still sorta deciding. Anyone know any fairly recent engine prices for a worked G161, G180 or G200? Im sure all the prices Ill find thru the search will be old. Ill have a look later though.

Cheers.

I am definetly interested in the motor and possibly the TF. I just need to ask a few mates if they are interested in helping me put the motor in since I dont have an engine stand and no shed to work in at the moment. I will get back to you on this.

Cheers.

Oh, if the TF wreck has seatbelts and a few odds and ends I will definetly get it too. Ill speak to some people at work and around my work and see what I can come up with trailer and engine stand wise and Ill let you know tomorrow night hopefully.

Cheers.

Well today I had a looong time to think about this, and with my current cash situation, I need to spend all the money I have fixing the car, not makin it go fast. The top of my list is rust repair, matching seatbelts and stop my headlights from flickering. I have a VB commy drivers side belt and no passenger rear. The cops are gonna love me. Well thanks anyway dude.
