    Hi there,

    I just found out that my completely overhauld cylinderhead belongs to your car.... (I do not have the block or the gear box to your car....)

    I am intending to put it into my car - which still will take some time (approx 2-3 years). So if you are looking for an original part of your car, maybe even getting it back to matching numbers (or close to it), feel free to contact me.

    Cheers

    Stefan

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
