To be honest I should have started this a while ago.
Background on the car (condensed version): I bought it out of a field from a tow truck driver who removed from the garage of a house which was being busted by police for drugs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) The landlord took the car for rent due and called the tow truck to store it and then he disappeared. All we know is the car sat in the field for at least a year and the grass was up to the fender. End condensed version of the background. I have had the car for about 3 years and I am still learning new things each day about it that deserve a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) or two. Here are some early pics: POR 15 only works if you don't look beyond the surface... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

I could have sworn I had these pics on this computer...
Okay do you rememeber those suspicous holes in the wheel well earlier? Well, we finally fixed them in April 07 after the engine was dropped again. The engine was dropped because of a very loud thrashing noise it made on start-up one day in Feb. It sounded like it was going to explode. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) As it turns out, the cam lobes had almost sheared off the cam and it was alerting us to that fact. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) In light of this, we sent the heads off to Ham and tried to figure out how much money we had to spend to buy stuff from Raby. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) At this point, we had no idea how bad the condition of the car really was. We knew it had a small case of inside-out (rusting from the inside out) and some dings, but that was about it. |
