if your so worried about ruining your current engine, if youve got the cash, why not do what i do and just buy a project engine thats cheap and practice on that, thats what i'm doing and you can take all the time in the world as youll still have a running landy
lol, the landy aint running mate, take a look at what i done to it so far. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/picture-uploads-131118.html

yeah, its been hard work and a hard learning curve has i have no qualifications, never tampered with anything like this before, gone through life been told i cant do it, so for once i have the opportunity and backing of my other half to try it and see how it comes out. i certainly hope that it will outlast me as its going to be passed down through generations i hope lol

no reason why it shouldn't old landies were built to last, many that you see today that are complete rust buckets is because theve been left, bodged, and worked to near breaking point, but in the right hands, and a nice restoration, a series in affect can last forever with odd bits replacing
i'm looking forward to getting mine when i can afford it, hoping to get a slightly cheaper one that needs a little work that i can do myself
series 2a, not bad as a first car eh

haha, i think one of each series before i'm 25 is a little exessive! hopefully i'll have a lovely restored 2a by then for mine to keep for years and photos are sure to come, just need to get everything haha, should be getting it all within 2 weeks and will keep this thread updated with pictures of the rebuild i plan to get prepped ect before i buy the engine so i can start work straight away.
