    So i have been stripping the front end to take the engine out. So far it's not that bad... 24059483_10159573189545321_3730092467657846918_o. 23800081_10159573185950321_4538549984316571082_o. 23800285_10159573186980321_5047829950210646928_o. 23825950_10159573186185321_8650366610030934708_o. 23826098_10159573189220321_591236841390020112_o. 23826260_10159573187505321_8398316664341047637_o.

    So far the worst is that hole over the rail and where the battery tray was, which will be removed as the battery will reside in the boot...

    Not bad at all that Adomz, Seen a hell of a lot worse... if you need any bits or pieces let me know as a Volvo breaker is in the same units as I am and he has quite a large amount of stock for these Volvos (not so much two door variant), im going B230FT in my mk2 escort now instead of saab

    Howdee!

    A tiny update...

    So the engine is now sold to a good home and it will live a properly hard life all carbed up, 16v, and in an Opel Ascona 400 replica rally car. Should be interesting!

    Now, i am moving house in the next couple of months to a property with a huge double garage, so i will update when it all happens!

    Cheers for looking!
