I so wish i had the money Crooky.

You do know you can buy an ER Turbo Block (head and all) for $600 ish from Jap Imports at Cardiff.  

Then you could swap it over and whalla, problems fixed.

If i had $1200 (or had access to) i'd buy it and do the same.

Unless you accept payment plans...

Cheers,
Luke.

Car still for sale.  Waiting on my mate to take some photos.  Unless I get a decent offer though I'm going to keep it and fix it myself when I get back up to Newcastle in late June.  Keep your eye out here for some photos shortly.

Don't sell it crooky! Ring New Jap and just plonk a 40,000km jap import engine in her ;D

Then we'll go for a cruize ;)

Sell it after the engine change, then you'll get more than your $600 extra back.

Update on car.  Now fixed!! Replaced the head gasket....again, and drove from Newcastle back to canberra. It drove so well down the freeway I have decided to keep it. It runs like a gem now. Sorry to any potential buyers for now, however the car might be for sale early next year in Canberra as I am getting married at Easter and may need some cash......Till then.
