You actually paid money for a AE71 with a blown engine?

I've gotten 2 of those for free this year. We use them to practice J turns and other stunt driving activities out at the farm.

I would think that by the time someone pulled a engine and box out they'd probably want half decent money for it, then you still have to swap them over into yours. I'd chuck some Silver Seal in first. I've gotten another 2 years on a Falcon with a couple of tubes of that stuff. Otherwise buy something thats good to go. Dunno what the market is like over there but people give away old cars for next to nothing over here. I got a 98 V6 magna with 170K and couple weeks rego for $300 a few weeks ago.
