I'm looking at purchasing this car: http://adcache.collectorcartraderonline.co.../3/81336533.htm
It's been re-painted as I found a run by the front fender, and some rust by the door handles has been covered up. But the interior is really clean and the body looks clean for the most part. I haven't inspected the battery tray yet, but I like the overall look of the car and just want a fun driver that I can tinker with until it's ready to drive next summer (like all my cars I suppose). Problem is that the 2.0 engine is bad according to the owner, who seems like a really nice guy. From my research over the past week it seems that it would run $5-$6k to have it re-built by a shop, but I'd rather do it myself. I do all my own work anyways and was just trying to get some barganing leverage on the price point. I need a re-build kit, but I'm unsure where to go. I went to cip1.com and found some B/B kits around $1000, but I have no idea if that's really what I need. Is this vehicle a good purchase, and where can I get a good rebuild kit? Slap me silly with the reality of the situation if you see fit (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
