There doesn't appear to be a huge amount of rust there, but there is invariably more than you can see and firewall rust is particularly bad and often terminal.

Hang out for a better one - they are out there. ;)

Standard engines are better too IMHO. I'm pulling the Holden out of my shorty. ;)

:eek::eek::eek: I'm Not THAT knowledgeable, OR renowned Shonky!!!:o

I actually have fairly limited experience with series stuff, but I love their simpleness, the gearboxes and drivetrain in general is beautifully 'minimalist':)
