didnt really want to do this because it is akward.....but then if it happened to anyover member it would of been mention by now.
as some of you know I bought loteks rallye which i no needed a "LITTLE WORK"
post off car for sale click here
basically i had the car on the drive for about 2 to 3 weeks to sort out the rear beam which was totally ruined this thanks to the 21mm tb fitted without a bar end bolt which was mine.then the central locking on the driver side decided not to work also the door lights.........
after this i then drove the car 3 times two short trips of which i had to top up the rad and a 50 mile trip to bed in pauls engine.............
bang the engine goes.........myself and other members have been told the headgasket was done and sorted hench why i bought it.......lies
then we took the head off to hope i can just do a headrebuild.........head FELL OFF and no cams in their just standard ones. chambers 1 and four was full off coolant and exhaust mani port one was also so scrap engine. took engine out pas pump cracked engine mount cradle cracked gearbox mount bolt rounded and hanging off. also bj and tre seized and the passenger side coilover was sat at an angle causing it to have camber on one wheel and f*ck all on the other.

ive sent hundreds just to get the engine going again and the car still needs loads of work to get some fun and enjoyment out of it.

oringal deal was 1600quid and he keeps the arb wishbones and mounts he has had these off me and i have given him 500 as a deposit.......now i no for a fact this shed is not worth 1600 not for a half decent shell cage and coilovers. i have offerd him 200quid more which i think is fair .

what do you all think

I take it the relationship between you both has deteriorated slightly since all this?

So what's the plan with it? Are you going to continue to plough money into it? Or cut your losses, break it and spend the money on a 'sorted' one'.

I hear Cappsy has a pink one for sale. He's not mentioned it lately so I expect it's sold now.

Trouble is it was sold as seen i take it? difficult to argue now.

A chap I know bought a 172, drove it 10 miles and it dropped a valve, didn't even make it home. The owner didn't want to know as it was sold as seen.

When I was looking to buy this from Rick, he did make me aware the HG had been done which was ones of the strengths I was going to buy it on. I have since seen the old engine block etc and it is fubarbed, std cams etc! I think for the condition etc the car is in £700 is fair although you still have to bear in mind that cams etc were never going to be noticed by Rick unless the head had been taken off!

anyone could say 'it's got this in the engine, these cams etc' but it's not until you take it apart you know. proof is required and his word is not always proof. if he has something on paper and sold it to you with him *knowing* (ie, fact) it had different internals then you have a leg to stand on [see darren's post - "sold as seen" not counting anymore]

you would get about £150-180 for it complete if you weight it in btw. just for reference

at the moment it has my engine out of the six. i know that he had no way of knowing if the old engine was cammed or not but surely if he had of had the head done........which he didnt he then would of known about the cams. Basically im not trying to work out what i should give him money wise as i have already given him 500 plus parts back. NO WAY im i giving him 1600 plus parts and i have told him this.
