Hello everyone,
I was wondering if I could get your opinion on purchasing a 2006 SE as a project.
The timing chain snapped on the engine...
I would be performing the swap myself with the help of a friend.
After 2 weeks with a dead battery, the air bags have deflated.
Used engine (engine: 4000$, parts: 1000$): 5000$
New air suspension / leaking air lines: 1100$ per corner - or convert to coil suspension
Compressor will likely fail soon as it had to cope with leaking suspension: 1000$
Rear seat buckle: 250$
New front fender guard
New windshield: 1200$
Misc interior repairs
Engine bay wiring fixing (random 20A fuse holder and random wire found in engine bay)
Sunroof leaking repair in passenger side - Wiring harness inspection under the passenger floor mat due to the water
Rear door gasket torn
The leather is torn on the back seats due to the owner using the LR3 in construction.
I plan to offer under 1000$
On a side note:
I have been searching, is there anyone who has successfully swapped in a non Land Rover oem engine? I was thinking of buying a run of the mill Ford v6 and swapping it if that is a possibility (for example, the mounts may be the same as they are effectively the same).
What do you think?
Cheers
