Sorry to hear this Steve, best of luck to you whatever you decide to do.
Cheers guys, makes me do a big sad too. I was in a right shit state yesterday but we'll see what happens and what gets sold and what doesn't and see where to go from there

Glad to hear your not dead and no one else is and hopefully no serious injuries. On the bright side though you get to go car shopping twice now! Every cloud and all that...
Haha cheers chappy, it wasn't that bad it'll just get put down as an uneconomical repair
All I need is to sell everything then I might be able to get something other than a bicycle!

Cheers guys, will see what the insurance say the other party has accepted liability anyway so it's all down to what they offer me and what daily I can afford to get as the pug want exactly worth a great deal..

Shit Steve I had expected to see you in the road at some point over the summer and then I check your build thread... Did you end up selling? I'm experiencing similar luck, with my head gasket gone.
Yeah it's true I ended up breaking, decided I was better to get rid and start a fresh when I have the space to work on one instead of trying to do bits on the drive and rushing things.
There's only so much you can polish a turd it turns out..
Tbh I'm glad I decided to stop when I did as some of the rust I've found since breaking I probably wouldn't have notice and it definitely wouldn't have been safe to drive on a regular basis. I've got ride of about 60% of the stuff worth selling and I've made a decent amount of money back.
But I'm currently on the hunt for a decent paid job (with some definitely positive leads) to move house to somewhere with either a double garage or space to build one, so I shall be returning probably with an import PS13 ready to get my hands on in the future as I just can't kick wanting one..

I'm sorry to hear that, you put so much care and attention into the work on your car, it is a genuine shame. But if you are on the hunt for a job that can get you a double garage, then more power to you mate!!
So it would seem that there are now a total of zero s13s and possibly no s-bodies at all in Lincoln.
There's a red stock s13 in immaculate condition just found the corner from me and I've heard talk of a k's ps13 rolling around as well.
What's the deal with yours tanuki? Just head gasket?

I stand corrected, glad there are a few others. Yea hg, the water pump went a few days ago and it had been producing mucky gunk in the cooling system. Not sure if I'd be better looking for anther ca or trying to do the hg myself. I'm not sure where I'd have to send the head to be skimmed.
Ah right! Water pump ha he is an easy one, head gasket is a big job but definitely doable if you have the tools/time/space just follow a guide if there is one.
I've not used a machine shop locally but I'm sure there would be someone around that would be able to do it for you. Putting it back together is just a case of following all the torque specs etc in the Haynes manual if you have one, or grab a copy of the service manual, there's a few links flying around on the net.
If you decide to do it yourself and need a hand just give me a shout and I'll see if I can pop over at some point and lend a hand
