[QUOTE="Elev8/Levit8, post: 509625, member: 5744"] Sounds like you might have been lucky then mate (hope so... crossed fingers here...) In that case (as you love the car), I'd say it's definitely worth spending a few quid to get underneath checked over. If that's all hunky, and the engine fires, then you can just slap on a new sump & gasket, fill er up with oil & light the blue touch-paper. Still not out the woods though, as other stuff may now come to light... best case, gaskets... worst case summat's bent inside the motor & it goes bang terminally. As for the insurance, it'd be worthwhile putting in some time backing up your valuation of the car with as much evidence as you can... photographs, ads for the same model, bumf about your ICE install (with prices etc), all of it can be checked & will help your case. If there is 6k worth of loudness then it's definitely worth buying the write-off back from the insurer to reclaim it, and you can still sell on what's left... Beware of the new laws on cars kept "off the road" though... you don't want some nonce from the council towing it... Gutted for you man... I know what it's like weighing up choices like this... Only advice I can give is try not to let sentiment cloud your judgement... Believe it or not there are plenty of other motors in the sea, and letting heart rule head over this will probably end up biting you in the wallet. [/QUOTE]
