DEAD!
Threw a strut up into the hood...strut tower compeltely rotted out under neither, unfortunately cannot be saved, so.....motor and tranny will find a new home in my Cabby and the rest is off to the wreakers!
My newest ride, this will be my daily driver and I'll be leaving her basicly bone stock other than upgrading the stereo.
2l 16v motor
280k on the block
20k on the head
SS exhaust
all options except leather....and it all works. Well almost all works, the heating element in the drivers seat is shot, but I've never had heated seats so I don't miss it.
Well I have to say I luv this car...it gets amazing milage(almost desiel like). I'm averaging 820km per tank! The only bad thing that has happened is that the windshield came unglued from the frame, but I was able to get it re-glued without it breaking.....but then along came a nice big stone from a 18wheeler and now I have a huge crack working its way across the windshield.
Extremely comfortable, smooth riding, decent aceleration (considering it's size and weight) with just a bit of engine noise at 3k rpm.
