Fix up or sell, not sure what to do :( Mon, 27 June 2005 12:23 Go to previous message
Well it's time to face the facts I think, my celica is beginning to need more and more things done to it, and I'm in 2 minds about what to do:

Just replaced the radiator and thermostat, and am getting some coolant pouring out from what I think to be the water pump. Not only this, I have my suspicions the HG might be going, there's bubbles in the coolant now, plus there's other stuff needing attention like oil leaks, etc.

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth just tearing the engine out, and having it completely rebuilt with all seals/hoses etc. replaced, and just blow the $4-5k on that, and HOPEFULLY not have many more problems. The other option is to cut my losses, piss it off, get a few more grand on my loan and buy something else. The trouble with that is I like the uniqueness of my car, and would not be content with something 'common'. I probably could not afford any other car I really like.

Quite simply, I work full time now, and have very little time to work on the car myself now, but at the same time I don't want to be working full time just to keep it on the road!!
