I want this but not 100% sure on how much would need doing.

Take the head off clean up check everything new head gasket and intake gasket? Full service etc.

I suppose some rods could be bent too. Would you avoid? Not as a money maker but I'd keep it!

Probably bent a rod.

New engine needed.

You'd need to budget on an engine swap really. Either that or a full rebuild (which will cost more)

Its probably £6000 to sell once its running properly so will make a very cheap wagon!

I filled a diesel engine with water once during flash flooding, turned over but wouldn't start.

Turned out it needed a new engine as it was uneconomical to fix, with labour my workplace got a bill of around £3.5k

 

[Daniel]

Years ago my old boss drove through a flood in a peugeot 306 dturbo thingy and that did £1800 worth of damage!! (Was a long time ago mind!)

It's an M47 engine right?

The car you linked is listed as also needing a new bootlid and a new boot floor? Bonnet damage, two bumpers.

Straight car, new engine

or

Car full of filler original engine...

 

[Gally]

LOL at "got a dent in back £200 - £400". You really do dribble some amount of shite.

Buy both, make a minter, sell the other bits and I reckon you'd have it owing you less than £3000 all done.

It's a Cat C with a fucked engine? I dont get it..
