sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 28d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 08/10/10 02:25 AM Author Share Posted 08/10/10 02:25 AM so I went with an FG F6 short, plan it to do up the fg xr6t bottom end at a later date. The mechanics pulled the head off the fg motor which supposedly had 7000k's this morning. I got a call to say come in and have a look, apparently it's all sludged up. They are saying maybe just get another head. Looks like it came from a 100,000k plus motor that gets serviced with calibre oil every 25 thousand k's.Another call to the lovely bunch of lads who sold this thing to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He maintains that he bought the car to do up for himself.Strange thing I found today when I inspected the engine. It was built a fair bit earlier than the car it was meant to come out of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letter from a solicitor would be into the hundreds. Edited 19/10/10 09:24 AM by MICKAJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
