Edit: I ment to post this to General section, feel free to move it..
Well as some of you know it looks like I blew my motor...
Now I'm probably going to part her out....probably
For the most part I am confident I can get most all the parts off just fine, but a few questions remain.
The car has agx/tien setup I want to keep for myself....
Also I want the control arms for my superpro's.
After I get the car taken apart and the parts stripped, I plan on having the junker crusher dudes come get it. If I were to take off agx/tien & control arms how would we get the car out of the garage and down to the street w/out tearing the hell outta my grandpa's driveway?
Also just to make sure my idea makes sense...
Here's the deal: As of now the loan I took out for the car is still not paid all the way (~$700 left)....
Being the car isn't really drivable I figured that I might as well take the L and part it out to pay off the loan...
1- is this even realistic? Can I expect to get in the neighborhood of $700 w/a partout? (car is in pretty good shape most the parts should be good for potential buyers)
2-Does anybody think I should NOT partout? If so please explain why it would be better for me to deal w/the loan and save for an engine... I have been trying to convince myslef not to deprive the earth of another G, but being in debt and having to either go deeper in debt (or waiting till I can save for another engine) is tough for me to wrap my head around...
3-I have never done an engine swap, and would love to learn! Its a bit of a pickle though cause the only place I have to work on my car is my grandpa's garage, which is very small (really has about a yard & 1/2 MAX of moving room around the front and rear of car... maybe 2 1/2 feet on the sides) and I'm not so sure my grandpa wants me to do it there.... He was pretty cool bout the tranny swap there, but I dont think he's as confident I can do the engine... I am pretty sure I can (not much different than tranny, just disconnecting a bit more bolts, hoses and harness'), but even @ that I dont have all the tools... Pretty much I think I have it all except a cherry picker.
Well cant think of anymore so I guess thats all for now
Thanks
Dan
