Joe, I suggest fixing it. Then sell it if that is your desire - otherwise it will be a hard sell.

Well, headgasket isn't that tough of a job - I bet someone local to you would help (I know the Denver crowd is like that)...

o trust me i know its not. i did it about 200mi ago, so im fairly certain its the oil cooler thats leaking. i have 15in of vac at idle, and low oil pressure, but still putting it as a possability.

according to pelican, turbo HG set is $143 and a full oil cooler seal set is $36...sounds like a very nice car, put that ~$200 down and you could probably sell the car for another $1000

hell, if you sold the ostrich you could get basically all of that.

IF it is just oil cooler seals, I am sure I have a set of seals around here somewhere.. PM me your address and I will get em out ASAP, free of charge in the interest of you being back on the road!! I also have the alignment tool you can borrow (brand new, never used... but I will need it back in short order)

Joe if it's only the seals I think you should fix the car and enjoy it, after all the money you have put in it.

i know it just gets old fixing things. seems once one thing is fixed something else breaks. i understand it's an older sports car and things break. im just getting tired of it.

No worries, I bought extra a long while back, and have not used one to date (but will be using one for my engine install when the engine goes back into my 951)...

I too get tired of constant wrenching... hence my current state of rebuild or replace EVERYTHING... do it completely the right way once, and you should be OK for a while to come... worst case scenario, get it up and running and get more out of it at sale... everyone is wary of buying a car listed as "only needs this $100 part, then it is good to go" for sale listings....
