Tudor... Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I don't really know much about scoobies, but the rust on the arch is a bit poo, it may not be the only rust... Depends if you want a project... As for the head gasket, at least it has been changed and has reciepts to prove it, not really a bad thing, if there was a problem at the time, I'm 'guessing' it has been rectified...

malkie 300zxtt Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 yeah the rust is crap agreed but thinkin it will have reasonable poke i think uk is like 208 or 220 hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jap.slapper Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Personally mate, if it cries out to you then go for it, but if alarm bells are ringing then don't get swept up in the excitement of it all, and just let this one go If the work to get it right is minimal then fair enough, but if there's more than you could sort out (including cost wise) in the first weekend of owning it then it won't be the car crying out to you, it'll be your mrs screaming at you and calling you every name under the sun There are plenty of bargains to be had, take your time chief just my 2p worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyp Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 youll be forever chasing the rust around there, also if its gone there the filler neck itself could also be rusted wouldnt be the first time iv seen them go. the head gaskets shouldnt be a worry aslong as both side have been skimmed and a new water pump cam belt and tensioner were fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
