Why do want to keep it - utility, sentiment?
another alternative
Dismantle the car and sell the body panels etc. |
30% sentiment , 70% common sense
The thing is I really have take care of my car , and apart from the engine she is as solid as any other car. I guess after looking from your post , Engine rebuild is a very very expensive option , so I think am gonna drop the idea.
