The car came to us with the 186, from the factory it had a 202... hell every teenager i grew up with changed the engines on a kingswood of some sort. Dunno if full of rust is an accurate discription because only a couple of people have looked at it, but yes it has the usual rust in the usual places. The Wife has advertised it for sale because since my spinal surgery restoring cars is somewhat painful, but considering the interest we have had we may keep it now. For an absolute "worst case scenario" I have looked at online sites like rare spares, e bay and Gumtree and could get complete replacement pannels and paint for under $2000.... but any one with half an idea about restoration would be capable of cutting it out and re-welding replacement metal, not like it's hard.
