Re: New Owner F.A.Q. Development Thread
"to me, a $1000 car with excellent body/trashed engine = $12000 new powertrain car nicely modded. and i'd take $12k in that form over 25k in practically any new car."
That has been my train of thought thus far...for what it would cost to restore this car, I can't think of anything else with as much bang for the buck. Besides, like I said I just don't have the heart to eliminate such a limited production car. I just don't want to dump money into a car that won't be worth anything in the near future.
Spyderman-fortunately the internals were in great shape,(amazing actually) aside from the rings-no valve/piston contact (I disassembled everything and had it measured at a reputable machine shop)-in fact I can't believe the quality of these engines compared to the american made stuff I'm used to. So...looks like a rebuild is in the near future to keep another one on the road...
Thanks the the feedback-I'll keep you posted
