Third convoy lead is in @Srikumar

Depending on the extent of damage to the existing engine your cousin can estimate the price of rebuilding (best solution, if this car is low mileage). It can vary from 3k - 15k depending on how severe the damage is. Go with any builder (your cousin or outside) who gives a warranty of rebuilding in writing on the invoice go with them. You should at least get 15-20k km or 6 months of warranty or else you are talking to a shoddy workshop who might laugh at you. Feel free to walk away, you will be happy in the long run. You can swap with a used engine too, provided you get one from half-cut with an odometer so you know it's really low mileage and not clocked 300k (end of life).

Good news All ! @Vanessa8580 has volunteered to take a second convoy, so we will be able to take 2 full convoys on this drive. Due to the large size we will put two different meeting points, but the route itself will be 99% the same. The convoys list will be shared on Saturday. PS this is not a dunebashing drive, as we will be mostly using farm-tracks to drive in the area due to lots of vegetation. The aim is to enjoy the scenery, make unforgettable photos, and do some gentle wadi driving
