Is the Flivver doomed? Posted by The Noob Eternal [Email] (#3049) [Profile/Gallery] (more from The Noob Eternal) on Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:38:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Alas, for those following the journey of Flivver McGee, the current prognosis is poor. It turns out the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) needs to be replaced. Presumably that would get me running - for now. But the distributor needs replacing - it's leaking oil - and apparently the seals are leaking too.
I'm toying with the idea of having a rebuilt engine installed - though I haven't priced it out yet. The body is, well, imperfect - though there's something peaceful about that: When someone hit my car as he opened his door he was a sea of apologies. The car, however, has long ago accepted the looks and pains which come with age. "Oh? Which dent is yours?"
For the record, the car is on Bainbridge Island, across the water from Seattle. If anyone has an interest in it, perhaps we could talk.
I'm reluctant to (eep! urp! ulk!) junk it, but especially when on a limited budget, there comes a time one must be sensible. Therefore I come to you to ask your sage advice.
Many thanks for your help and good wishes.
