Well, it sounds like you had better practise your welding if you intend to keep driving it. It need not be pretty but you need to make it safe if you intend to keep riding around in it. Or else, you need to find a better body and start swapping the drive train. RB On 07/01/2019 10:58 PM,

Check this out, he fixed it for $500 with some welding.  Bought the car from Co-part for like $32k, got it fixed, would be a $70k car, very few miles.  Insco totaled it because of the damage (which might be due to a design defect). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOlvG1QbCDU --FT On 1/8/19

I'm thinking drain the fluid,  brush the joint between the head and block clean where I see it bleedin, slather on the JBweld, wait a day or 3, refill radiator, and give it a try. The only vergasser I would consider is an e320 or similar.  I know a 300E M103 will have a head gasket leak soon,
