Fix it or V8 it?

[flounderbout]

Glad you got it - bargain either way I reckon. I'd say V8 it, but I don't think any of these 3rd gen types are brave enough for a V8...

[Rustinho]

If I were to arrange for a Lexurf build (which I probably will if you're still doing them in a couple of years time Vince!) I'd definitely go for a 3rd gen one...

With all due respect Henry - feck off !

The only things stopping me getting the Surf 'Vinced' are:

1. Complete absence of dosh for the work
2. Complete absence of dosh to run it
3. It's the wife's not mine
4. It's really tatty and I'd want it to look the dogs rear wheels

I know there's the LPG option but that's far too lame in my book ...

PS
I'd want a supercharger too

I'd say fix for peanuts - nothing to someone with your proven enginny skills. Why rip it all out and cost yourself a few grand? You'll never get that money back, but a fixed 2.7 should fetch you £3k easy.

True, but if I Lexurf it, it'll fetch £5k easy.

£300ish to fix it.
£700ish to V8 it.

Really? Tried selling one 'cold'?

Not trying to put you off, but its a tiny market ie. just people on this forum. I guess you know far better than me though!

From what you say, you're not gonna lose much by trying!

I know what you mean, but have you seen the tat that has sold on Ebay for stupid money just because it has an old, messily installed V8?

[Apache]

Has it sold? Just cos its there...

Vince, your market is specialist perfectionist. I just dunno if you could sell that to the masses. But at that price, like I said, it might be worth a pop.

[Overland Tonka]

oh, and nice bumper, wanna swap it for a stock one?

Bugger....beat me to it!!..

[POPEYE]

Dont it make ya sick! i paid 3 grand for my 2.4 back in the day
could have had a 3rd gen V8 for not much more now

[stormforce]

if you v8 it vince then it will be worth 4k of my dosh any day.let me know if you do and i will stop looking for another truck

[puddlesurfer]

V8 it - put it on ebay - if people can't see what a quality job you've done and won't stump up the cash then they're fools.

I would imagine people would fall over themselves to buy it!

Toni - you don't need another bumper (unless you are giving me one)

All part of the intercooled 3rd Gen plan, then 2nd Gen is spare....

[Bogus]

True, but if I Lexurf it, it'll fetch £5k easy.

£300ish to fix it.
£700ish to V8 it.
