+1 for the above unless it's a gift and you like a headache,cause you'll mostly likely not make money on it if that's your plan?

As been said above easier to get one that runs something like this , lot less hassle unless you got the other one for silly money and was going to do something different with it

by the time he's bought engine new t belt kit fitted in it will be closer to 3500 so better off no lt to bother imho as there are many runners for cheap.

I do understand what you're trying to say but cheap engines aren't cheap as they cost around 1500 then he'll need t belt water pump and then fitting. I'd say get a running motor unless op is paying £1500 for it. maximum price. even then is it worth the headache?.

I think it depends on your DIY skills, could save a packet by doing it yourself, engine swap etc. Also what can be salvaged/sold off original engine?

I've not seen one running bwa for less than £1500 tbh.

oil pump failure salvageable parts  :thinking:

as said better to buy a running one rather than go through all that headache.

Another member bought a 2k one off salvage and he's now thinking a big mistake for what they are worth.
