Probably stick with the 253 and M20 when I get to that stage just to get it on the road. I can't see me having much spare cash laying around after the body work...

I do have an injected 5L here but it's auto. If I was to come across a manual conversion for it I'd definitely consider it.

The LC's not a bad car, just a 4 door SL. I just need the room and the extra cash will go to the HX.
