How come you are looking to rebuild?
Just want to know what the possible additional costs are like when buying a cheap s2k :)
Building back to oem spec - ~5k
The car's more likely to have been in accidents from the rear letting loose than have a dead motor.
If you were to buy a cheap s2k with engine troubles and spend 5k on a rebuild, would it not have been wiser to just spend the extra money on a good s2k to begin with?

Yeah definitely, just weighing my options at the moment. I've been bringing in s2k's to workshops only to look at crappy comp's, even though the body's straight.Quote:

But this is assuming both chassis are straight etc., and the only difference are engine comp's.
So far it's difficult to find an S with decent engine comps, most of them have been flogged, burning oil etc. I haven't seen a bent chassis as of yet, regardless of mileage.
The engine comps might be off but if it doesn't lose much oil and drives well enough - would you really spend 5000?
You are buying an old car don't forget
