So I just put a deposit (so pretty much bought) a 92 VP exec sedan, got it for $1000, towing it tomorrow. When i first looked at it it had a rattling coming from the engine so i got a mechanic to just look at it (family friend). As i suspected the issue was the harmonic balancer (its cracked), also seems I need a new fan belt, and new water hose? I'm not sure if its the water hose but it was taped at the end and seemed to have a leak. Then there was the most expensive problem, the car leaked oil as soon as I turned it off under the gearbox and the mechanic said something about a ring seal which would need the gearbox taken out to replace?
How much would each of these be to fix (on trade price, dad has friends in the industry) minus labour, or price of part and then labour.
Also needs new tyres but I have a whole year til i plan on registering it coz im still on my Ls, so no big problem.
Here's some photos too:
