Hi Mate

just take some time and think what you want to do with it

don't just break it for the sake of doing so

think what its going to cost to get another one and get it to the spec yours is

against the price of getting another engine

just something to dwell on before you make a discussion

hope this helps

i hear what your saying, the only spec its got at the mo is........ broken! i`m just sounding off as i`m not that mechanically minded. what i really need is someone who really knows what they`re looking at to come and have a good look over it. i need to know its viable to replace the engine, i.e the chassis not swiss cheese, or the body mounts, or the axles etc. etc. i know chassis etc. can all be welded, but it cost me over a grand when i put the old 110 back on the road, then yoshi spent about the same for the mot when it went to him
