It does need a good cleanup, but I'm sure it will look great in the end.

A good solid toy engine. Bit of a clean and re-paint. I'm looking forward to the pics. Going to be very nice.

It's a common engine, so it doesn't matter much at all.

It's your choice at the end of the day. You just have to look at what people have been doing to them.
