I bought it for myself...

I posted about the college car, I talked about the find on the meet on Sunday, I'd taken off the box and washed it down for a member to buy for safe keeping/spare box. I'd mentioned the engine was also new and one member said he'd have it. As it happens, he decided against it for the £200 asking price, no problem. I went yesterday to give him the money for the box, I gave him the news about the engine buyer backing out. I went back this morning and bought it for myself. I may use the whole thing but, my train of thought is to use the crank, liners and pistons in my own block to keep the originality. I think that if I do this, along with the repainted shell and the new running gear...I'll have the closest thing to a new ZT I could hope for.
If and when the project gets underway, I may do a video diary of the whole build if it raises enough interest, it's not going to be done twice is it?
