Car has been stored many years, does not turn over. Will ask Ross to put spaner to it for me and check? Could also be just rust in it.
Yes he's a honest up front guy, I'm sure he will give me honest opinion about engine when out of storage.
If worst comes to worst, can reconditioned engines be bought ? Will it be less than rebuild?

Car standing for many years can get a standing seize I'm told. Yes I am not mechanical but I am sure willing to learn. Not scared to get hands dirty.

When car was stored, Ross did fill with oil I believe, so when out we will see. It's a automatic, so what other cars can engine be taken from? Again, really hoping it don't come to that.
