Found a donor - how to get it home?

If it's got no ABS and rear disks it will have a 25MM Master cylinder. You probably want a smaller one. 25MM cylinders are worth quite a few ££

I feel quite pleased with myself

Just a shame that this is all the progress that will be made for at least a little while

Need to get my uni exams out of the way (three weeks left - quite scary ) and get out into the world of work to earn some money and then some actual work on the project shall begin

Can anyone tell me where I might find the engine number on the actual engine?

I'm not sure if the car has had an engine change at some point and whether or not the DVLA has been notified.

At work I have the facility to enter a number plate into the computer and it tells me all kinds of information about the car. The reg for my new donor car returns the information that it has an SOHC engine instead of DOHC (there is definately a DOHC engine under the bonnet). It also gives me the engine number which matches the plate on the slam panel (LG42515). HPI check lists the same engine number and says it is a 1998cc.

Hopefully I am worrying about nothing and my computer at work is wrong, although it isn't often. I'm just worried that come IVA/registration time I could run into problems if it has had an undeclared engine change.

On a happier note, I also found a spare drive shaft in the boot of the car.

What year is it?

I can try the chsssis number through Fords System too if you give me it via PM.

It's a 1991 on a J plate. Sending the chassis number through PM. Thanks.

Spotted N9 on the VIN plate which Wikipedia (a highly trusted source ) says is the the DOHC.
