This engine was done quickly so they've obviously done them before so $3000

Brilliant! On the road again, or off it morelike!

Yeah in Australia and done in about 2 weeks.
$4500
$5500
$3000
Nope - MORE!!

 

[clivehorridge]

Ooooops!

 

[frank rabbets]

Add them all together and you get $13,000 so we were right all along .

 

[byrnieman]

$6000 total. Ouch!
Has inspired me to spend done more money on her.
Planning
1) Full respray & decal removal
2) 2" Lift
3) 3" Exhaust
4) Darkest Legal Tint
5) Led tail & indicator lights
6) Stereo upgrade
7) New front seats

Got some work to do!

 

[frank rabbets]

Well done getting the engine sorted. Many people come on the site with engine problems but not many pull through.

 

[clivehorridge]

Ouch indeed, but it will run very sweetly forever now, I hope

 

[byrnieman]

Oh yes she runs like a dream now. But she did before as well! Right up until "the sound" started in the great engine failure of September 2014 as it shall be known
