73 super pooper, welded my pistons to the cylinder walls!!!???
my girlfriend was cruising down the highway at about 65 today, and the ****ing motor in my 73 super started losing power. well, she pulled over, and went to start it again, and it wouldnt, so she called me. I met her on the side of the road, and the damn motor was seized. I was thinking that maybe it was just a bad starter not engaging, because the motor wasnt turning at all when we turned the key. i also thought it might be the alternator, or the battery, keeping the car from cranking, but just to verify it, I pushed the car and she popped the clutch, and the tires literally locked up, and the motor didnt turn AT ALL.
my 73 superbeetle is blown.
that may mean my WRX swap will happen sooner rather than later, but im not sure about that. for now, i might still just swap back in a stock motor, and go from there. if i do that, what do you guys is the absolute cheapest way to get my car back on the road?
