Rip Offs and Ripping Out

Ever had that feeling that something just ain't quite right?? I had that feeling just the other day. Allow me to explain.
I recently discovered a new gent who is selling mini parts in my area, now this dosnt happen too often so I got rather excited, mistake no 1! so off i trot with a good mate of mine to see whats on offer and discover to my delight that he has all kinds of bits and peices that I need all at super cheep prices. Now this should have started ringing the ol' alarm bells but I was far to excited to pay those dusty old things any notice, anyway after a breif discution with the propriator i settled on a complete 1275cc motor and an old rusted out shell with all the wiring looms etc that would make my life much easier when it comes to putting Rusty the Pickup back together. So a price was agreed and off I merrily trundled to make the transport araingements.
A week later I returned, collected the shell and discovered that the engine I had picked out had already been removed from the body, ding ding ding!!! hello pay attention!! Still, less work for me right, so 1 red engine, the bits and peices that belonged to it and a body shell later off we go. Now comes the interesting bit, on unpacking back home and once I calmed down after all the excitement I thought I would check up all the numbers to confirm what I had been told,(heres the web address if you would like to check out your engine - http://joltfreak.tripod.com/id29.html) and guess what, those bells had been ringing for a reason! I am now the not so proud owner of a 998!!cc A-series engine, I dread to know what will happen when I take the numbers to get the police clearance needed to reregister rusty when im done, but I have a feeling I know, and this time Im listening to that feeling!
