It's official. My Mondial is accessible again. First time in 10 yrs
that I've been able to drive it myself. Totally forgot that there's no
power steering!

Nice? *Nice*?? Sheesh, we're going to pull the motor and do a complete
service on her this fall. She'll get a new clutch, too. We also spruced
up some of my old Challenge wheels and put those on her. 18"
Speedlines. They look modern, but not too modern. A subtle update that
can be put back to stock easily.

I was hoping we could borrow your 250 GTE. That's in pieces, right?

Amazingly, even in that condition, the beauty of the design shines
thru.

Gods, I love these cars!

So anyone want to throw out an estimate as to what an engine out
service including clutch replacement is going to cost me for an '84 QV?

I hate to tell you, but it I don't think those wheels are the originals.

A wheel expert.
....No, wheely I am.

Why would you pull the motor unless you were doing major remedial work to
the engine bay? Everything should be do-able with the motor in.

As for cost, who's doing the work? If its the "crew chief" then it shouldn't
be more than $1000-$1500 in parts - it depends how far you go & whether you
get into replacing things like distributor caps, ignition leads, fuel lines
& coolant pipes etc etc etc.

Congratulations!
