I checked it again yesterday and the diesel had run through on all 4 cylinders but it is still stuck solid. I gave it another dousing for now. Once I can get it back in the workshop I can strip the bottom end and try and remove the pistons one at a time. Headgaskets are available but I can probably reuse this one depending on if it has any damage when I lifted the head. All the other gaskets aren't available but are easy enough to make.

There is/was a firm in Keighley who make gaskets based on your old ones. They do a lot of obsolete ones for old cars.

It is a Belgian conversion by a company called EBS. Doing a bit of research it is just a replacement tailgate as the whole back lifts up on the original hinges. I might see if he will sell just the tailgate then stick it on a turbo

Never mind any of that, look at the Corvette.

Cheers...that's a big chunk of tailgate! Shows how graceful the original was, though, in masking the length of the rear wings.

That Fiat looks lovely. Is it as quick as it makes out to be?

Is it really wrong to like this.
