There's also a very tidy 1.8 Cav LS near me, paint work is immaculate. £500ish in a garage too, K reg, 100k+ miles.

Yeah surpose you're right jr. Always seems dodgy buying a engine that you can hear running. And it always helps having a Donar car.

If I were to do a conversion, I'd personally want a donar car, as i'd want to hear it running before I put it in mine. Say you buy omne from mig and then you put it in and it smokes and rattles like a bitch. Then you're going to have to take it out and rebuild it etc, seems alot of effort IMO

furry muff breaking a cav, but id only break a shitter! Dont waste a mint cav as there rare as fook nowadys.
Should be rebuilding a engine before you put it in anyway, no chance i would be putting a xe or a let in thats over 80 odd thousand miles without a rebuild.
