What to do with an SVX. Keep, sell it, part it out?
Well, I have to make a decision soon about this 1992 Claret that I bought.
I got it w/200k on the ticker an a nasty hole in the engine. Previous owner, ran it w/o oil and number 5 rod was destroyed. I have a 10k mile engine that I am going to put into it, but there is still a question of the tranny. I did not drive it so I do not know if it is any good. It does have tranny cooler on and and the tranny fluid did not have a burned smell and was bright red. The interior is messed up. Driver's seat is badly torn, there are some bad tears in the rear seats. The interior smells like smoke. It also needs a paint job. Here is my soobie fleet, 1982 BRAT w/an EJ18 swap. 1987 RX w/an EJ22t swap 1992 Silver SVX w/156k, HID, 2006 STi wheels 2000 OBS slight rod noise above 4k rpm. Initially, I had lined up a space at a friends yard to use as workspace and storage so I was going to do some musical cars. Original plan was to complete the SVX, then take the OBS and do a EJ25 frankenstein motor build. Then take the BRAT and drop in an EG33 and FT4W tranny. BUT I lost the space so now it's all up in the air. I live in an apartment and I have to park on the street so maintaing 5 cars is a bit much. What to do what to do?? keep it, sell it part it out? |
