Howdy lady, gentleman and your bald headed baby's

Name is cheeze currently living in Moust Gambier SA, I recently spotted a purple EF Fairmont sitting in an Ol mates front yard (AKA jungle) Spoke to him found out that it had a "ceased motor" began to talk dollars of a few weeks with the idea of swapping motors out of my daily. Ended up getting if for $300.00 Yeaah Boi!

Plates have been surrendered to SA raods, new ones on the way.


Does have a little damage on RHS

Pulled the head off last week to see what the G-O was, found out that the motor had not ceased it was just a case of the owner had run it fairly dry and the gasket had blown out. because it been sitting for awhile there is some rust in cylinder 3#
been playing with idea of rebuilding but ended up looking a little costly, scored a fresh XR6 head cheap so just gonna put it back together.
