"Paid $100, I should make $1000 profit"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I bought the car for $100 I was told it had a leaking head gasket. After assessing the car I discovered that it was the water pump. For now. Following the water pump I replaced the points, plugs, leads, rear wheel bearings, CV joint boots, radiator flush and a good tune. Six months of driving caused the head gasket to blow and the head to crack. My best option was to replace the engine with a standard KA sport engine, single carburetter.

Now with TLC my car gets me from A to B and then to C and D.

General comments?

The four speed gear box is the only downside. Fast, zippy and great in the mud.

A bit uncomfortable due to 22 year old seats.

Interesting review.

My company acquired a used Ford Laser Station Wagon and cannot find parts for it over here in the Bahamas. Desperately need a water pump.!!

If you can assist in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
