Spotted this, I know nothing about it but may interest somebody.

Over-enthusiastic valet?

I'd have to be paid to take on that level of work.

Engine and gearbox are not in the shell either!

I cannot believe anyone could let a motor like that fall into such a state of disrepair - criminal in my eyes.

At least its all straight, nothing too bad about putting it back together.

No time Martin, I have loads to do on the cars we have here already, I made it worse by buying another three over Christmas!

It would be a good project for someone who had six months free time, it would make a nice one when done (Plus you could iron out most of the 'kit car' issues while putting it all back together.
