New 403 owner

Hi Dorien,

Ouch its sounding more and more expensive.

It was an impulse purchase, but that impulse was based upon it being such a lovely shaped car.

I want to restore it myself, and farm as little of the work out as possible.

Yes its a tall order, and perhaps i'm being stupid, as all my family and friends keep on telling me, but the car has character and if i can persevere, it would be an interesting project.

I want to keep the cost down to a sensible level, which is why a non Bristol replacement engine and gearbox sound appealing.

If anyone has any ideas of what combo's i could use, that would be most helpful.

Hal
