Well, apparently.. someone deleted my thread... RE: Car dead - more questions....
Ok... the night before, a friend and I went to a nearby "park" area to do a few skid marks / spin tires type deal....
Now... by spinning the tires... would it cause anything in the engine to break? Like.. .that back bearing on the engine, would it cause it to break, and damage other things within the engine?
From other thread: What should I do?
Well, I found a $800 wreck 'vert that I'll be calling soon and asknig him how is the engine, much less body, and if it's able to run.

$800 for the car/motor. Think it's a good deal?

Wel I don't think you could get near 1k for a dead car even in perfect condition. Unless you stick it out for that special buyer.
I can get a working N/a for 800 dollars and all I have to do is wait for the tittle. Everything including tax tittle and all that junk is taken care of for me. 1k for no engine and all that other trouble wouldn't be bery appealing.

It depends on what's caused it to seize. If it's a launched apex seal, or a tension bolt that's come out, or carbon. Either way, you're not going to damage it anymore than it already would be

Christi-have you ever been to laredo? there was and still IS an 86 base model for sale here. They wanted 800 with TT and L for it. It hase some minor detals but over all I would think you could use it to fix your car.
Dunno if you would want to go throug all the trouble though. Just a thought

When I quoted that one post, I was replying to his post - instead of bringing up an old thread, and making a new one, as well.
Talking about spinning the tires / sliding around doing a bit of drifts was a totally different thread that either got deleted and/or moved when the new servers hit.

).If that 86 base is still up for sale, let me know. I'll inform my fiancee to see if he can get some details on it. Silly question, but what is TT and L?

Nope. The fact that DFW is a 10-hour drive from El Paso doesn't do me any good (when i'm there).
