Bought this locally with a broken engine. Didn't even bother to inspect it, metal fragments out exhaust and a chronic oil leak meant I wasn't even going to bother trying to fix it considering a new engine is only a couple of hundred.
Plan is to tidy it up a bit, fire a 1300 engine in and have a bit of fun.
Lifted it at 10am, began work at 11.30am:
GTFO:
Engine out.
Bit of rot on the cross member as I suspected. Should be patchable but probably going to fit a new cross member to be sure.
Next up is to pull the rest of the anciliaries off the engine including the flywheel & source a CG13 Micra engine. Also got to change the suspension (cut springs *-)), sort rot out on the sills, clean up the bay, change the rims, tidy the body, etc etc etc . Should be ready to rock and roll in a couple of months, funds permitting.
Anyone knows of a CG13 engine out there please give me a shout.
