bit of a late reply but thanks for the comments guys and the engine was had a big oil leak from what the previous owner said and plans really are just to restore it and lower it with some nice wheels maybe a bigger engine in the future but the 1300 will do for abit haha this weekend I will split the body from the chassis and start from there so pics to come :D
