Just to let you guys know, my P38 is on it's way....
I have a very good friend, who owns Sussex Autogas, and he is selling me his wifes car (that's nice for her..) - it has been sitting in a field for a while as the normal v8 head gasket issue materialised.
So the engine has been stripped down, bored out, new top hat liners, head skimmed, rebuilt with new everything - hopefully that should resolve the slipped liner issue.
She is up on the ramp at the moment, had a walk round underneath, new air bags all round, bushes replaced, very clean and tidy, perhaps with the exception of the rear exhaust which will probably need replacing in a year or so.
The car is gassed already, with a 80ltr tank in the spare well - and as Derek does it for a living I expect it to be a proper job ;-)
I have some questions though - it is the 4.6 HSE - it has 16" wheels, are these correct or should it have 18"?
Here is another dumb question - I noticed on the front and rear diffs a counterweight thingy, what are they for?
I do not really want to replace the head unit, but is there an easy way of adding iPod connectivity?
