I got this ride due to someone told me the head was blown. And boy were they wrong. All this work is being done by me at the shop my bud own. Thanks dave...
This car started off as a ins. fraud case. I chased it around for three years tring to get paper work on it.
The door handles were gone, There were no keys, And lots of crap shoved in the trunk....
After draggin it from under the snow we got the day before. I had to use a hanger to open the door from the inside.... Boy did that get old quick. I have done it so much its easy now.
now was time to pull the old motor and get to work.... Fun Fun.
After having spent four hours pulling the motor. I had it out to find a surprize.....
Number one and two pistons were in the oil pan.... God a blown head would have made me much happier... But the I got lucky.
I found a good motor. For $95 no less. Good thing I have some friends that could help me find it.
After five hours of putting the motor in by myself. I was ready to put the hood on and call it a day.
And now I have to wait for some parts. Due to no one in town likes to carry jack shit for this car...
I Finally got her running and after 1000 miles I ran into a problem. The lower control arm ball joint pried its self out of the control arm. Here are some new pics of the front suspention. cleaned and painted.
These are the parts Im replacing....
I finally got my new parts. The cv's i got brand new through the shop for $103. And the lower control arms ran me $175. Took some pics.
And somthing happns again.
100 miles after the joints were replaced the motor developed a bad knock. Time for a new motor. enough of playing with others head aches.
So i got a new headlight and smoked turn signals.
This is my motor donated out of a 97 Eagle Talon. With New parts.
Here is it in and running that same day.
Now due to my Stage 2 cowler head and cam, 2.2 stroker kit, header, down pipe, and high flow cat being for an eclipse i had to weld in 2 inches of pipe. The rest of the pipes have been opened up to 2.5 mandrel bent with a twister muffler and a clasic truck tip. Pics to come of that When i get it in the air. Finally Have 1500 miles on the new motor. Still the car can use more power. right now 207 hp with 192 tq. tranny will hold up to 500.
