And probably un-insurable for the road!

That is one thing that always concerns me, the amount of 'nearly finished' projects that go on sale. Surely if it was that easy to complete, you would finish it properly and then could sell it for a lot more. It just gives the impression that these things are projects gone wrong and will be nigh on impossible to complete without re-starting.

  Dom I think you are right on the ball there but with the rapidly increasing prices paid for 126s I think that the crackpot fringe will fade away but there are some very capable people out there and some great conversions have been done.  [-/

So who bought this? Anyone on here? Went for just  over 600 notes

I was winning for a few days but chickened out when it came to the crunch - another engine in the garage and a 126 on the lawn was too much to have to explain to the boss.

Can one not just...sneak a new bigger engine in and notify them of the new number?
