It depends how long you are prepared to wait tbh. I can do it but it'll take me longer than other bodyshops

You dont need a swan neck. Loosen them/lock them tight whilst the car is sitting on its wheels on the floor. Its weight will stop the piston rod spinning (usually)

Not keen on the wheels they dont really suit the smooth lines of the car and those rear light covers look gash Other than that looks

dont need a swan neck spanner, get an impact wrench / nut gun and run it off your compressor.

Warped/cracked head maybe? £2k for a fooked engine car, why not get it sorted if its not warped/cracked and add £200 to the price - would sell a lot better.

Apparently its just taking up space and they want rid of it. But isn't a 1.6 16v only about £500 from Lee fitted ? I'm sure if a new engine was fitted some money could be made?
