Surprised at no interest in this- looks pretty good under the slime- shame Im a bit far away.
Maybe worth putting in the for sale section. Come on guys- its a GLT saloon!!

Looks pretty decent to me - how do you know the engine is blown? Surely just because its missing a top hose doesnt mean its fubar'd? Or is there something else wrong? Have you tried starting it?
I think some poeple would be surprised how well that paintwork would come up. A do over with some t-cut, a clay, and a few coats of a decent polish like autobalm.....Okay so it might need one or two bit touching in, but I still think it would have potential to be at least a 'smart daily driver' Steve

FYI I have been speaking to Gareth about this car and as you say, under that moss it looks as if OK. I just mailed him as I have a spare engine if in fact its own is shot, but it may have been cam-belted, if you know what I mean! These later ones are interference by design, although the early cars (like Thor) aint: I did a camshaft-swap on my '77 244DL and apart from removing lots of gunge in there, it runs fine again now. Will tell more if I get it: I need to replace my daily-driver 740 anyway. Paul |

Hi Paul, yes I know what you mean, but why do you think it may have been cam-belted? I know they are interference, and Thor isnt, but I have also heard of plenty that have survived a snap......fingers crossed!
Steve

id say pretty much every 200 series part is available somewhere or other, its just you sometimes have to do a little bit of researching......but
that applies more to the early cars like mine. i wouldnt break it - i would give it a good wash and polish and get some better pics up. how do you know the engine is knackered?
