Hey Tak do you have any cash saved up?? If so just do a rebuild i mean your going to be getting that car for free so why not right? You can turn that into a n/a beast if you go with a street port and and add some nitrous maybe. If it ends up being the water seal then **** id say its time for a rebuild...
