I just acquired a bunch of parts with two parts cars that I bought, including a complete early 1.7 engine (W0095475).
The engine does not turn freely by hand; I haven't tried using leverage or lubrication to see if it will free up. I'm assuming whoever might want it would just want it for the case. I'm looking for advice on setting a fair price that will move it along to someone who can make use of it. Because of size/weight my plan is to list it on CL to see if I can re-house it locally (I don't want to deal with freight shipping). Paul    |

QUOTE(emerygt350 @ Jun 28 2025, 03:03 PM)  That would be a fun project for my son.... Given that it is a completely unknown status inside and there is corrosion on the outside, this is probably the best use for it. Emery is at least on the same side of the country as you, maybe work something out. I often think about snatching up old lawn mowers that people throw out (and have done it a couple times..) to see if I can get a neighbor kid that is interested in tearing one apart. Mechanical skills are going away, it's the perfect way to learn the basics. (my 30yr old daughter already does all her own car work). |
