    If by "gone" you mean that the head gasket's blown, replace it. If it's blown, I doubt you'll get much of a ride. Is it hard to replace? That depends on your mechanical abilities. Get yourself a service manual before you attempt the replacement. If it's not a total basket case, then it's worth the $500.

    I would buy it. If the plastics and seat are intact, they are almost worth that. I have never done a head gasket change, but I wouldn't let that stop me.

    Some hay wire and a zip tie will fix that!
