I was still pumped with the purchase seeing as it was only cosmetic damage on the front end....so I thought. Turns out the engine cooler was broken and leaked and ran without oil leading to, you guessed it...SPUN CRANK HUB. Out of time and fucked . It is beyond repair as there was less than half a quart of oil left in the pan so they really ran her dry. This is my 12th auction car and you think you'd know what to look out for by now but, you live and you learn. Anyone with any help or leads would be greatly appreciated!

Also here's a link to the vehicle if any of you are interested in scoping it out:

I immediately sent him a PM once I saw the link you posted. Wish I would have came back on here earlier since I'm just seeing this. I appreciate you looking out and taking the time to send me this! If all goes good would gladly give you a finders fee thanks again! I'll keep the thread updated and if anyone has any shops in Cali that they have and trust to do head rebuilds, please shoot them my way
