The car as seen in the pics: above, has the engine fitted and wiring, needs fuel tank and prop made shorter, needs the rad too before we can run it.

The engine we used was a Ford mexico 1.6 x flow motor, it was fully seized and could not be turned over, it was major work to remove the pistons so we could rebuild it, as you will see in these next pics, not good is it

wow that must have been a lot of work to get it going again.

Even the sump had rusted in holes and had to be welded.







After the pistons were got out, the engine had a full recon.





Here is the motor ready for fitment.
