AFAICT, a know good engine usually costs more than a perfectly serviceable car with a known good engine already in it

The 406 has always carried its arse in the air, perhaps a set of 50-60mm springs on the back to level out with the 40s on the front?

Right, that was the next thing I was going to suggest 0.0

Mate, that's some shitty luck right there. Hope you can pull a little silver lining out of such a FUBAR >.<

It's all in yer Haynes Manuel, people ^^

There's plenty of things to try before giving your life savings to the garage

Oh no, there's nothing wrong with it of course, it's just a question of personal taste. That, and I turned my instruments and clock blue and the orange switches kinda clashed ^_^

I have an excuse ready in the Omega: "thing is officer, the faster I go the better the mpg I get..."

How or why anyone though this might be a good idea is quite beyond me. There was no way to get on to it short of dismantling the console altogether, so I simply ...

Regarding the dash cluster removal and stripping, as I said in my earlier post there are many threads and guides already posted on the board. Ty the search box
