  • Decklid needs to be secured and pull cable installed.
  • Front indicators to be fitted.
  • Rear bumper to be fitted.

That's it - the engine is running albeit roughly at the moment, it just needs a tune.

Offers
- you'd never even buy all the component parts for that let alone have them assembled together in a restored shell.
I'm really tempted to keep the engine so I'd let the shell and all its components go together.
Not really interested in selling just the engine as I don't need another project left around the place ;) :D

That engine would cost 10K euros almost!

Yep, you're right :blink:
Add in the cost (and installation) of the 5-speed box, 4-pot brakes and restored shell... not to mind all the little things like spindles, beam, shifter, wheels, etc and it looks like excellent value...but I would say that!
