IS IT WORTH IT?

[wesnemo]

You have to decide what your goal is. Do you want a car you can drive soon at fairly low cost or are you looking for a somewhat expensive hobby car.

First, pull the pan and see what happened. If its only bearings, do it, you win. If not, next cheapest will be a checked out used 5sfe. Swap your accessories etc. over to it, plug it in your car and you're ready to go.

After that the sky is limited only by your wallet.
