I cant figure out what would cause a knock as horrifically bad as that, that then disappears or seems to disappear in short order.
Maybe a knackered bearing shell that is then pacified by oil pressure?

Yes I noticed that, its tempting but I have too many projects on at the moment but good luck Jeff. It will be good to see it back in the road and done properly not bodged up to make a quick £.
If you are going to flip it there should be a reasonable profit in it as long as nothing else bites you. Hopefully the A/C just needs a compressor and they are cheap enough from Rock Auto.
Engine comes with the air con compressor according to the listing so that may not be a problem. I have no projects on the go now except my sons 2 x MG Montego's. His Turbo engine I've rebuilt and an now sorting a rusty panel just under the windscreen, after that a small bit of welding and hopefully an MOT sometime soon, then his other MG project that I've failed to get running so far, that needs quite a lot

Having seen other cars described by them as just needing a polish I reckon it might need some paint. I know there job is to sell a car and of course the more it gets the bigger there commission but I will say buyer beware. One a Jensen that was sold by them it was supposedly just dusty but on closer inspection it was covered in micro blistering. I just wish they were a bit more honest. If closer I would have a day out and go and have a look and store it away for when I am less busy but its over 4.5 hours each way for me.
