While I admire your zeal, I think it would be a foolhardy enterprise.

There are no facilities or tools to perform a trans replacement on site and the owner is physically unable to assist. Ground is very rough and uneven.

Drivetrain wise it would need tires and alignment. I replaced ball joints ...

Body isn't in bad shape with the exception of the hatchback door. The car used to be his daughters and one of her friends backed it into something.

To the best of my knowledge the only damage was done to the door shell. Other that that, I believe the car is rust free. I'm 6 hours from the car so I ...

Posting this for a friend.

It's a 85 wagon 5speed 4x4. 4A motor from a 86 Corolla has been swapped in. Something in the front transaxle has failed, my best guess is the spider gears.

If there is any interest contact elrond@rivendell-farm.com

Will be going to the scrapper 3/30 if no interest is ...

Valve cover gaskets were Felpro. I'll replace them again ...

What do you do for fuel pump gaskets? The parts places don't list them.

Did a 4ALC swap and am having problems with a major oil leak

Leaking about 1qt per 5 miles driven.

At the time of swap all gaskets (except head) and seals were replaced. There are signs of valve seals needing replacement but that would not cause the constant flow of oil in the engine compartment ...
