I have swapped engines and transmissions and am running into some questions for someone that has done it. Please let me know if you have.

Update:
The car has been sold to a man looking for something more gas efficient. He has two trucks that get 12-15 MPG and needed something better. His wife took a wrong turn and ended up going down my street. She saw my car with a "For Sale" sign on it in front of my house and told her husband. He came by and then arranged a full diagnostic for the car at a local shop. He paid $37.50 for the diagnostic and they came up with a stripped transmission drain plug (I used the wrong sized allen wrench - 3/8 instead of 10MM). It was also leaking a little. The right rear brake cyclinder was also leaking a little (they had to pull back the rubber to find a few drops outside the seal). They also recommended a tune-up - points, wires and cap, rotor ( I had already put in new plugs - of course any car would be better with new ignition parts). They found nothing else wrong with the car. I think that is a fairly good testimony as to my ability to repair a car with a seized engine and have it running again. I had changed the engine, radiator, battery, and put in several used parts from a junkyard. I sold the car for $3500.00, which was far more than what I paid when I purchased the car from e-Bay. I am looking for another 7th generation car needing repair, that I can get cheap, to fix. I still have some left-over extra parts (including a 1.8L 7A-FE engine and A245L transmission). Anyone have a need for 7th generation Corolla parts or have one they want to sell that needs work? |
