If you go for it I am interested in a few bits and pieces, mainly engine and gearbox.

not that its on topic, but you could always internet bid on the vert if you were so interested in it, plus i thought you had a s/c 2.2...........

continuing off topic:

I need another block while i rebuild mine with a s/c. the 2.4 block i had is gone, only thing salvaged was the head which is of no use as I am going to use a saab head.

My brother is going to be at the auctions hopefully so i will ask him to put a bid on.
