Hi I’ve just purchased a 1980 sprint it’s been stood 20 + years unfortunately the engine has locked up
Tried all the usual soaking the bores and rocking it in gear with plugs out and it’s solid looks like the engine is coming out and I will rebuild it also there’s a few bits of body work to do and welding passenger floor pan and drivers side front chassis leg

Hello Don!

Excellent news that you are saving another car. You’re in the right place for help, advice, and a shoulder to cry on

Join the club and you will be able to purchase the chassis leg etc. Keep us posted with how you get on please. Photos are very welcome too!

Good luck with it, Bish.
