Engine Pics
Not the cleanest engine in the world, but she sounds nice once cruising on the road.
Update 11.30.04
new alternator belt, new power steering belt, unseized powersteering mechanism, fixed oil leak and new ball joint - should be it on parts for about a year. Back brakes are comin' in about 3 weeks (new painted calibers, rotors, pads)
Fuck Sears - stripped my oil plug and in turn ended up paying 65 for an oil change instead of 20-25.
Updatednew pictures, after i took sometime to clean out to the engine and the car
do you think i should take the center piece of the alloys?
A little cleaner engine picture
