Head gasket repair decisions
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2016 9:56 am
Hi all,
I'm kind of stuck in limbo at the moment, I really love my libby but the quotes I've been receiving are so damn expensive!! I mean I can kind of understand why, I've been told that other parts may need replacing aswell, and also to bare in mind that even if I do get it repaired, something in the bottom end may start to fail down the track..
I've also been advised to go with a 10k repair including new sti short block if I planned to keep the car for a long time..
Budget is around 5k
What's the best options to go about this??
I'm having arguments with the wife and she wants to sell the car off.. haha
