My 1979 DL Wagon's diagnosis is a bad crankshaft. My mechanic can't find engine parts for a rebuild. Brown exterior, brown plaid interior, with ripped-up driver's seat. Pretty stock, except for custom canoe rack on top.

 

Your counsel/offers please:

 

1) Keep looking for rebuild parts

2) Swap the engine

3) Bail

    A.  part it out

    B.  sell the car complete. Price range? Any interest?

What are you'r skills? I would put a EA82 with a dual range cheap and rather easy (figuratively speaking) And I have the pieces on the shelf. If you sell post some photos of the good, bad, and ugly and the community will try to help you, or rob you  :rolleyes: Mostly help I am just speculating at this point.
