Yes, but there nothing illicite nor illegal about that, bankrupt or not (even tho to my knowledge there not actual proof he even had to claim insolvency).

People gotta make a living havent they.

I know mike, my comment was more towards the point that he is still about and trading. Therefore V6 mounts may still be available from him.

That's just CV joints, I can sort them myself, it's the mounts I'll have an issue with.

This.

It took me & a friend 2 hours to change a starter motor on a 3.0 V6 Nova as there was simply no room to work

There very good fun, torque steer like burgery, we almost took out an oncoming caravan as it torqued steered us into the opposite lane lol in gear accerleration is phenomenal compared to a 20XE though but overall there only good for high 13's low 14's as standard.
