What Ak said, if it's a bottom end knock, it's worth what you can get for the bits/shell, doe's look very clean etc though!

why ask then....

I wouldnt buy the car to 'simply' just fit another engine. Nothing is ever simple.

If (you think) its worth 1200 you are being daft not fitting a new engine to get the money!

250 would sort it No labour rates there then.
