@Drax
Cool,
More further inspection toady and there has been a load of bodge jobs done to this car.
Got a bit depressed today, everything I touched today either fell off or was loose, the worse thing is I have noticed someone has taken the LSD gearbox off which is what I wanted most.
Got to the point today where I thought I might just scrap it. Manifold has been spot welded twice and is blowing through one of them.
I fitted a brand new battery and good quality dizzy to her before I sold it on. I also fixed a lot during my year with her but the arches were never great in the first place, my bb1 is far far worse :?

The reverse gear on the lsd box broke while I had her, managed to get a free 5g box as a temp to while I fixed it but I never had the time/money in the end - the box is still in my garage if you'd like it back to repair :)

dont know if this is of any help but bodywork looks good on this car in brighton on gumtree - you could consider looking at that and maybe do an engine&gearbox swap with auto to manual conversion :) lots of work but you do have the parts. Red ludes are epic ;)

Hagland-BB4, if you were to buy that 2.0 auto, would you do the engine and transmission swap yourself or pay someone to do it?

im just thinking costs of getting arches repaired/replaced vs auto - manual conversion plus engine swap costs

@Drax
I think I would use it for parts to save mine.

I have had a quote for £1600
That is for putting the new arches in then a full respray

I’d save the bb4 mate, keep a true bb4 chassis alive.. I didn’t know the gearbox had failed! :o get the m2b4 back and fix it, makes a difference to the way they drive for sure..
also the exhaust manifold was cracked when I bought the car, I got a mate to weld it and heat wrapped it never blew for me but it’s a cheap eBay manifold I’m pretty sure, I’d probably just buy another if your going to do the rest of the car.. I hope you get her back up to spec mate :thumbup:
