tr4a

["dac" <dac@hawaii.rr.com>]

Hi listers,
i have the opportunity to purchase a 65 tr4a irs for $1000. It's
in fairly good condition except the engine. The car is at the
mechanics now and it need a new crank shaft. Estimate to fix is
about $2500. $300 in parts, the rest labor. My question is should
i buy the car? can I do this work myself? I had worked on cars
plenty 20 years ago or so, but i've never been inside the engine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
