    Seeming you can pick them up for under £2k now and some going close to £1500, is it worth the hassle more than likely needing a new engine or a lot of work doing to the engine depending on damage (bottom end, turbo etc)

    I've just rebuilt 2 meg engines. One to the tune of 5k, the other standard with new bearings, rings etc cost about £700. If the crank is damaged allow for a regrind.
