Beachcomber's 2.3 turbo lump and other goodies
here's some pix as requested of the 2.3 Turbo lump I'd bought to convert to Supercharger. As removed from running car by PO. Turns over freely with good compression resistance.
What you see is what you get - no other parts for this engine. I'll list the other parts [ new discs / pads, aux dizzie drive, old style dizzie, non turbo exh. manifold, intake [ FI ], twin downpipe also new ] if I get chance before Christmas. As with the car - going on e-bay in the new year if not sold here. |

IT IS NICE !!!
I looked for ages before settling on this one. No rust, no dings, straight panels and an absolute fortune spent by the PO in past 10K miles - new head, new turbo, steering rack, rad, intercooler - the list goes on and on. It's clean under the hood too - again no sign of corrosion at all - just one spot of lifted pain on a lower chassis rail. No adviseries on last MOT [ less than 200 miles ] and even the MOT guy commentd on how good and rust free it was. It's all documented [ honestly ! ] in my build thread. I had NO intention of selling, that's why I spent so much money on it - New -40 Killens, Bilsteins, tow bar, etc.,etc. An intermittent starting issue began to appear last year [ documented in build thread ]. Sometimes would start and run perfectly, other times dead as a door nail, or just spinning over. For the past 6 weeks it has been starting and running fine - went to turn it over at the weekend - dead again ! When it's running there are no issues - sweet as a nut, no noises, smoke, leaks. Brakes and transmission are spot on - obviously so is suspension and steering. A deeply regretted sale simply due to ill health meaning I can't complete it. Spare 2.3 engine now sold BTW Last edited by beachcomber550; Dec 18th, 2017 at 17:14. Reason: add pix |

Oh this is the one from the other thread? Probably a bit over budget for me but feel free to PM me a price on the car. I was expecting it to be for sale engineless given the 2.3 for sale.
