Or just sell the car as a going concern for a cheap price. Thats the great thing with scoobs there are plently of grease monkeys out there that wil happily take it on, spend there spare time either stripping it or rebuilding it for a profit.
In my own mind I have already decided If my engine ever let go, its more than likely what I would end up doing.
I done this on a Celica GT4 I had once. Bought it with a forged engine, stage 2 mods and lots of goodies for a fraction of its build price as you always do. But then the car started over heating spordically. Tried a few simple things to no avail, so thought head gasket maybe. Put it on market as a going concern on the GT4 forum for 3K and had plenty of folk wanting to take it on. Couple of guys come round armed with tools kits, let them poke and pull the car about and test various things including compression test, and they took a punt with it thinking it was head gasket as I did. It later transpired to be a cracked block, but no hard feeling between buyer and I because the car was worth 3K in bits. They were just hoping for a quick fix and profit, but still done OK.
