4.6 project

i brought a p38 2 years ago, and joined this site to gain info, and help keep her going, and love reading every ones adventures,,, lol.. However apart from a re synic, ( info supplied by j the range) only had to change water pump and trackrod ends, .... lucy u i here you say,..lol..... no real issues to mention, However a 4.6 has come up, with lpg, 1996 model, with a suspect slipped liner, from previous posts i gather its a thor engine but not sure as not looked into it much,
Now im thinking of buying it to repair, looking a rebuild rather than replacement, if it has a slipped liner , how can these slip??? can they be replaced??? anyone carried out this task before???? any tips would be very welcome, or would it be better and cheaper to get a second hand bottom end??? I know you did yours j so all help welcomed,
Lastly, how much would it be worth with a knackered enging???
n reg, poor paint work, 20" rims complete with scuffs, will need new tyers, electric seats, guy says suspension is ok , ??????. i have offered him 500 quid???? he wants a grand , but i know thats tooooooo much
help me out guys ,,,,, many thaks Rob

500 sounds generous to me!

Fixing the engine will be expensive and if the rest of it is not up to much then it's never going to be worth much.

My 4.6 is M reg '95 and I was going to get shot of it when it's MOT was due a couple of weeks ago. However it only failed on emissions and anti-roll bar bushes. A new set of cats and bushes and it's legal again. I almost let it go for £500 and now I'm glad I didn't. I only have to sort out the slow eas and It's sorted. So I would say by your description you should be able to pick up a better example.

if it has sliped liner you need to put top head liners in,[ cost about £100 each. i replaced my bottom end for £500.
i think £500 is a good offer and would not go anymore, thats my two pence worth..

as it is =worth **** all, £1k he's a loony

It's worth whatever you could get out of it as scrap if you weighed it in. NOT £1000. The man's a dreamer.
