cheers all the info so far has been invaluable i really am tempted by these as iv always liked them since i was small,how likely is it that the head will go on them ?What would you all think of one with the 140,000 to 160,000 (iv seen one on here from a ph member which has had the head done (sl300 24) with 167,000 with some rust starting on the wing and the wheels are non original lorensers ?
