I melted a piston
Yes, apart from one piston and rod which is now gone. The person who took it part to diagnose it for me, lost the rod and chucked the piston in the bin  Angry wasn't pleased. That way my trophy!

The block and crank has 3 good pistons and rods attached, so I'd like £200 or I'll just keep it

Still interested in the coilovers, but wouldn't be right to buy this just to break it!

You and 10 other people haha! Splitting will not be an option now and I wouldn't sell to someone who was just going to break it.

I'm currently paying £60 a month to store it, move house in April with secure garage and lockable gates so transferring to there and if I have no options between now and the Juke going back, I'll be paying for this to be fixed and it will then become my daily as my E30 is now a drift trailer queen. So I'm keeping my options open, as I don't think I'll getting any genuine interest in the next year anyway which is kind of a good thing as I do really love this car and don't want to let it go.

Did you read any of the thread  Huh

Taken from first post:
"The car does run BUT after installing a new engine (supplied by Yoof at polo performance) there are a few things left to do. Can't recall mileage of that engine, but I'm sure if you ask Yoof he might be able to tell you.
Exhaust manifold gasket needs to be changed
Ignition timing needs to be set
On and off sticking throttle issue
Needs New Radiator Fan (I have one here)
General look over before MOT as it's been stood"

It's been stood for over 2 years, so no idea what state the bushes are in one front top mount rubber needs changing. The exhaust needs a centre mount bolting on, the new electric fan I have for it needs fitting, then it needs a new set of exhaust gaskets. My husband de-wedged the throttle body too, but it's sticking a bit so might want a new throttle body or maybe a lube-up. also needs the timing checking/setting too as we don't have a strobe.
Essentially the car is sweet it just needs a few days tinkering.
Oh and there's a spot of rust under the drivers door's bump strip that would want fettling if you were fussy.

Yes I would accept your offer by pm.
