Well Pinky seems to be mine again, it`s a Cat C, but i`ve had to pay more than i was willing to pay, but the insurance won`t except anything less  >:(. Now this is going to reduce the cheque i get from the insurance, so i`m in a dilemma about waiting till I get another M100 before i sell any parts off just incase I need them or balls to it and strip pinky to get some £££££££££ in my pocket to sort my finances out as I can`t afford to make a loss on the salvage.<br><br>Now whats an Engine and Box worth <br> [smiley=hehehmn.gif] [smiley=naughty.gif]

Onward and upward - good luck with the next one.<br><br>John  ;)

It was the best thing in the car  ::)<br><br>Just 61k +  ;D<br><br>Luv to keep the Engine and box, but don`t think i`d get my money back on just the other bits  :-/ and i`ll need the dosh for my next Beast.  ;D

Not to ruin the picture, but since you had an accident with the engine rolling, you have to check out if possible wether it still runs ok, its not guaranteed that the engine escaped with no damage done.<br><br>friendly said...<br><br>Costas

So charged the Battery press the inertia switch back in and she started 1st time  ;D even had to reverse it so the gearbox should be ok. got her on the drive but pissed oil everywhere, cause the oil cooler was ripped off. If i do decide to sell the engine i could join the intercooler pipes together and fill her up with oil if someone want to hear it runing  :P<br>
