1993 Beretta GT for my God-Daughter...

**02SOMZ** · 05-30-2009, 07:33 PM

She's doing driving lessons now, and this will be her 17th B-Day present this coming November once I go through it over the Summer and make it road-worthy in my mind...

towed it home today.... $55 in towing, and $40 in diesel...
A little pissed with myself that I didn't see the f'd up rear bumper last Saturday...
It appears she bumped into something, and I assume the absorber (if there is one) didn't flex back..
The fix? SawZall the plastic away from the rear tire... BOOOO!!!!
Gutted the trunk, found a little water under the spare, but no serious damages...
The worse was the rot right behind the passenger tail light... :-(
Will be looking for a center console ASAP...

Arrival...

Where did these go? Orange, Green, Gray

It's a good 20-footer car...

A nice pair...

Today's investigation and continued dismantling...

As I expected, I had to cut the absorbers...
After cutting the passenger side first, the sucker bounced right back into the correct position... Almost a good two inches...
And will grind off the bolt heads tomorrow night...

Not sure how much metal will be left to mount new absorbers...

I also let the car idle for 20 minutes or so to check the cooling system...
ugh... more work to be had....

More to follow...

But here's a sneak preview...

and here's my newest discovery today while inspecting the cooling system by letting it idle for 20 minutes...

Fan never came on AND...

Here goes all my SOMZ mod money...

Hit the for sale section of BStuff. Should be able to find parts on the cheap.

That brings back some memories. You just don't see too many GT's on the road these days. Good luck with everything -- looks like you have plenty to do.
