Any help is really appreciated

Hi mate,
I'm not sure on what shops are around your neck of the woods, but when im chasing new seals its usually as easy as going into a Repco, Super Cheap Auto or Autobarn.
I recently helped out a friend of mine change his CV in a TE Magna. Picked it up from repco for $110 (the guy was nice enough to give us a trade discount)
Just make sure you drain the oil out from the CV before replacing it or you are in for a big clean up.
As far as the tappet gaskets and the radiator goes, unless you have a friend that know what he is doing I would say its best to go and see a professional. Especially for the radiator.
If you really want to take a stab and everything yourself, you can get a maintainance book/guide for your car from super cheap. They are usually pretty easy to follow and should have everything you need to know in it.

Hope this helps at least a bit.
And there are plenty of guys I've seen on here that know your car inside and out, its just a matter of finding them or them finding you.

engine mounts approx $100 ea there is 3 of them
Radiator approx $140 new
tappet cover gaskets and plug seals approx $40 ea side
not sure about axle seals wouldn't think they would be to expensive maybe $10 each
Then if you can't fit them your self there is approx 1 days labour to fit everything approx $300.

So approx $500 in parts and $300 labour roughly $800 total .Abit cheaper then you have been quoted.

where abouts are you located might be able to point you in the right direction.

mal ( madmagna) has radiators for 65 each plus postage, u just swap over your hoses and clamps,, purchased and fitted one last week all good and easy to fit despite what ruiner thinks

mal ( madmagna) may also be able to help you with the engine mounts to at a fair price, just send him a email details are in the mitsfix part of the forums

as for seals i just use geniune mits seals, belive it not i pay the same price i pay for them from my local supercheap so why not use geniune

you do have to remove the plenum to do the rear gaskets which can be a real pain if you havnt done it before and i generally swap out the rear spark plugs while i have it off ( remember to use platinums for the rear bank)

you havnt mentioned if your able to do any of the work yourself???

Cool thanks for the help guys any help is greatly appreciated, does anyone else have any more information?

Are you getting a RWC to register the car or to sell.....if the former then I would take the car to another mechanic for an assesment (degrease it first!)....at a guess to fix all the problems you list using parts from wreckers should be well under $500.

Don't lick frozen flag poles

WIN!

hahahahha

The workshop manual can be a bit tricky and sometimes uses annoying jargon - I'd recommend getting one of the physical written Manuals for these cars. I use Max Ellery and its fantastic. Lots of pictures and simple to understand instructions. Best $40 I spent for this car!
