 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

That's not too bad, I reckon a bit of 'instant gasket' or similar and it'll go back together no worries!  Does make me feel a little squeamish I have to say! |

Sorry about that, its totally mashed! Am i so wrong to suggest a bigger and/or foreign engine while you are at it? Slam summat wild in there and a new polo can be got at in the meantime on ebay! today's Sesame Street is bought to you by the letter G, and the number 40. naaaah - don't think i will, the hassle needed to get it right (need a new fuel tank, pumps, gearbox will be far too low geared, new driveshafts, ignition system, instrument pod) means it's easier to buy a proper G. There's still hassles selling on a G40 that's not a real G40 too, never gonna get top book for it. anything above a 1.4 won't bolt in without big work on chassis rails, engine mountings and gearbox. a 55bhp stunner is fine for me (well, 60bhp after i chip it!) as a runaround, unless the rocco doesn't shift soon as one of them has to go  |

if the 'rocco get sold and i keep the olop, i might be tempted to try a bit of styling on it but it's such a fine line between looking good with a stock engine, and looking chavvy cos it's all show and no go.
