I picked Marlin up for $1000. its a 86 GL wasserboxer
it has a small dent behind the drivers door and a Dropped valve seat.

So the first thing we are going to do is pull the head off and have a look see.

Marc

one more

Sweet pickup for $1K - good deal even with a dropped valve seat.

Thanks

thats what I thought when it was offered to me at that price

Now I have to get the head off and check it out.

Hopefully I can get it running for Valla.

marc

Crikey, that's only $142.86 per seat!

Good luck with the valve.

Thanks peter
I never thought of it that way

Marc

nice one...

planning any mods?

Sweat pimp wagon man!

leavin Egor at home this valla?

That is an amazing bargain. You lucky bast*rd

great find

thanks guys

really happy with the find.

As for Mods not sure yet depends on what I will do about the motor may Go Subi as I have one sitting in the garage and sell the wasserboxer as it was a good runner before the valve seat dropped.

Well Chris it may go to Valla just depends on what we do about the motor.

Marc

just perfect marc, just load all them engine bits up that are now under ur house and send the whole thing up to me, i am sure i can build a nice motor from all the parts to fit into her. come on u know u want to and hey just think what with me having 4 kids and all they will all fit as well as the wife, oh hang on mmm on second thoughts keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


nice find fella....

steff................................

Howdy Steff

You know what chances you have of me sending it up to you -------------------- NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Marc

i'll give u another baja

not the green one before u start with ur smartass comments

steff.....................

oh u want the lastest on mine.... puttign the bottom end back together and i decided to fit new piston rings and seals, as we slide the piston out,,, a huge bit had cracked off(i'll take a pic).. been like it for a while .. good hey... i think i really should give up!!!>...

hey steff me make a smartass remark No never LOLOLOLOLOL

Oh bugger cracked ring did it hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait to see the pics of the broken rings etc

Marc

lol wasnt the ring that was broken, its the piston its self, between the ring and oil seal , a good sign of over boost at some stage in its life!... oh now its a totaly re-con'd engine, top end,bottom end,new pistons etc etc etc, should last a life time now, well it fu**in better!!!!!!


steff..................

Nice find,

Sorry to but in here but, can anyone tell me what the differences are between a GL & a everyday Carravelle?

Cheers
Brendan

so what was wrong with the engine Ray

I have not pulled the motor out yet .
I will be leaving the engine together and selling as is.

But i am sure it is a dropped valve seat.

Marc

i still think it looks too good for you, its all 1 colour..............i think you should swap it for a multicolour bay window............

Now let me think about that MMMMMMMM.............. now don't take this the wrong way Michael but

NO

atleast yours is running

Marc

Very jealous, looking for one atm. Want to triple your money overnight?

great pickup marc... i'll have to come and check it out....
