haha Missed this as I was in the UK! I did this car about 5 years ago! Motor was rebuilt by the magicians at HellBM a while back but was barely driven, I just did the seals and timing belt, waterpump etc as it had been sitting for a while, old owner of the touring originally had a 260 box behind it but the centre hanger bearing crapped out whilst driving and shattered his gearbox casing when the driveshaft came loose, he opted to find a 240 box and shaft to replace it as the 260 boxes were too expensive. The car was good, few rust patches here and there but the engine and drivetrain was good. I opened up the sump on the motor and inspected bearings and opened up the top end and did the valve clearances etc. It was a very solidly built engine from what I remember. This is going back a good 5 years ago now
