I saw an update and thought "OK he's stripped the engine out". I didn't expect it to be back up and running. Impressive. Is it a full front-off job or can you hoik it out from above?
He shows it in the video. Take wheels off to drop it lower and drop it in - simples interstellar said:

I'm not sure what the plan is moving forward. If I decide to get rid of it that will probably happen in the summer holidays.
I feel like I'm stuck in an abusive relationship, I've got a bruised wallet but it's telling me it's changed.
If you get rid, you'll either have an even further bruised wallet or a significant downgrade - and you'll have a car that's another total unknown.I feel like I'm stuck in an abusive relationship, I've got a bruised wallet but it's telling me it's changed.
Given that the engine that's in now is fairly unmolested, and probably newer/lower mileage than the old lump, I'd hope you'd get a year or two out of it if you kept it.

That engine is absolutely a complete unknown given the shysters that sold it to him, huge risk keeping it given the known designed-in problems as well.Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
