BigRuss Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 First up is my spare engine, a late type Vauxhall C20XE. I bought this from a friend of a friend who took it out of a car which had been written off when a horse took a disliking to the back end. I've never heard it run, and it has been stored in my garage for at least 3 years. When I got it, I cleaned it up, modified the cam cover (I have a spare one as well though), and painted it up in Frost engine paint, so it is looking pretty nice. Certainly not the normal dirty spare engine. My plan was if I had any engine issues to freshen it up then and drop it into the car with my existing bodies, sump, exhaust etc. Also for sale, a set of Compomotive MO15 Alloy wheels with old Bridgestone Potenza tyres on. They are 15"x7" wheels with a ford fitment, two have a 35 offset, and two are 12 offset, so they work perfectly on a narrow body car and fill the arches very nicely. The tyres on them will need replacing, so ignore those. These pics are of my other identical set, I'll take pictures of the actual wheels as soon as I can clear some space in the garage. I'm looking for £200 for the wheels.
s2rrr Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 How much are you looking for, for the engine. Did I miss it, my only problem is distance but just enquiring in case its an unmissable bargain.. Bob
BigRuss Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 Sorry, didn't put it up. I'm after offers around £300 for the engine. 1
