Hi all
A friend of a friend has an early 3.4 cable throttle car, it has quite a lot wrong with it. Mostly the usual age related faults such as yellow headlights, needs brakes, wheels are tatty, central locking, air con not working, overall condition is average to poor, it seems typical of an owner who bought it when they were cheap and has not maintained it. Underneath it looked solid.
Engine is smooth and quiet despite having done 130k, however it has an intermix issue where oil is getting into the coolant albeit very slowly. Oil looks normal.
I had a quick look in the header tank and the coolant does have a thin film on top.
I quite fancy a bit of a project and can do most things myself which would help cost wise. If we say it would need a 10k engine rebuild then what do people think it's worth as it currently is?
Cheers Mac
