[SEL] New here, looking for first project - Australia

[Jim Kirkes]

Hi Ash,

Welcome to the SEL.  If you were in the US I would be more 
than happy to help you out with an engine purchase.  There 
are quite a few from
OZ on the list and they can help you with where to go and 
who to see.

For your first engine get one that is complete, doesn't have 
to work but it all needs to be there.  When you are an 
expert you can buy engines
with missing parts as you will be able to better judge how 
hard the parts are to get or make.  Another thing you might 
consider is a common
engine as there are lots of people that can help you out.

Hope that helps a little,  BTW what state is Armidale in, 
give us a reference from a bigger city?

Jim

Hey all

I've just joined up and am looking forward to making a start 
on my first project, when I find one!!
I've been restoring old motorcycles for a while now but have 
lately become interested in these old engines.

Where is the best place to find these old beasts?
I've been to a couple of swap meets but no luck.

Has anyone got an engine they want to sell?
I'm in Armidale, Australia.

Thanks everyone, look forward to annoying you with stupid 
questions...haha

Ash
