Tint is coming off the front windows today and car is going to inspection. In NJ it has to go through the sniffer on a dyno cause it's not OBDII :(
Everyone cross your fingers for me and hope it passes :D
Still don't have my car back :rant:
It's one small stupid thing after another. Had to replace a whole brake line to one of the rear drums, had to get an alignment and 2 new tires cause they were dry rotted to the point the belts were showing, damn car rattles more from sitting the last 2 1/2 years and now one of the T Tops pisses on you when it rains........
BTW it was the water pump causing the overheat. Apparently the genius put a standard flow pump on the car. TBI requires a reverse :brick:
And I also need a new clutch :mad:
Damn turd gens.... I think by the time I actually get to drive the damn car I am going to start ranting like 86Iroc does :yup:
Sell it now before it becomes a huge money pit
Thanks... That was one of the new parts put on by the previous guy... and judging by the way he tacked together the wiring harness, It wouldn't surprise me if he put on the wrong water pump as well...
:haha:
Actually it's not a money pit YET. Motor was free, new rear seats free, $10 in spray paint, $132 for tires, brakes were about $150 :think:, water pump was about $30, car cost me $910 including the 60+ mile tow to my house :yup:
So far not too bad. It helps that my BF's father owns a junk yard and much of the needed stuff has been free.
Update still no car.... Damn wiring gremlins from the dumbass before me. I think he was a :monkey: Wires were such a mess that they were causing fire hazard. Maybe I'll have my car next week :sulk:
Another update..... Drove the car for the first time since all the work. I'm very happy. Not fast by any means, but it handles like it's on rails. Love :drivin: stick.....
It needs some more little crap fixed before I can drive it everyday. Brakes have some air in them and need to be bled more. Hatch rattles a little bit. Dash needs a few screws cause some are missing. T Tops need some adjustment cause they leak and the air noise makes me :screwy: Stereo is in and the amp has something wrong with it so that has to get taken out. Very soon :devil:
