eh, the lack of motor can be fixed...the paint should clean up and buff out fairly well, but all those pine needles are bad juju! seriously, looks like it should be a decent ride when theyre done with it

yay for the twigs

Volvo Dan · 02-01-2004, 06:38 PM

So...was that purchace for parts or for a project?

I'd say a little of both...Where is that yard? My BMW buddies would love to get their dirty paws on some of those parts....

I think Jay might take offense to that.. :wink: I'll have my pics up in a little bit. Thanks for the help Kenny.. and Reid...

And thanks to Sam of course.

Oh, and Kennys new camera is PIMP. :eek: Nice burnout too. My dad liked that.

bitjockey · 02-01-2004, 11:44 PM

Haha jesus are you kidding me

Yay for me... Its my new car, heh. I can't complain, it was free! I think the paint will look good with a a wash or 5, paint cleaner, wax, and maybe a clay bar.

Time for pics!

Yeah, so its dirty.

We all know Kenny wants a 240

Ahh... Now I'm going to have to wash the car!!

Equipped with Diesel springs

Goin home

A real 850 burnout..

Got home, time to load a motor( fully assembled, picked up by hand :eek: ) into the jeep. Skinny and weak my ass

Stock motor, with valve job(stop that clatter), new Headgasket, new other gaskets, rear main, front seals, timing belt, etc etc etc. First time I've taken a motor apart this far. Thanks to Kenny, Doug, Robin and anyone else that put up with my mindless questions.. You all helped.

Parts that are going to be taken to the mechanic tomorrow. He's putting the motor in, I do not have the time.. parents said we'll pay for it or we'll buy the equipment and you can do it yourself. After seeing the wiring of Sam, I'm glad I let the mechanic deal with it.

Hopefully it will be turboed this summer or I will have(yet another) project car to turbo.

Pretty block and intake manifold.. 8-)

http://www.pbase.com/twig/newer_car for bigger and more pics.Enjoy.

Kenny and I agreed.. its the color of Isaacs car.. beige.
So my car is dirty.. go play in the salt some more with yours

towerymt · 02-02-2004, 04:04 AM

Mine is covered in nasty salt & chemicals. The worst parts are the grille and taillights, since they show the salt. Otherwise, it's not that noticable, which is why I like the color.

240Psycho · 02-02-2004, 01:27 PM

i have a question. how are the turn signals staying on the car? arent they attacted to the headlight bucket which are not there?

oh and another question. Where is this place? i noticed a old split window VW bus. and i am interested if it has little rust?
nice find. whish i could get that.

DeathWagon · 02-02-2004, 01:36 PM

Well I am glad that my car is going to some one that will give it as much hell as I did. The car was great to me and i am sure that it will serve the new owner with as much durability as it showed me.
Have fun with the car guys and trust me you cant filp that one we tried just ask kenny.

Hell.. you're damn right!!

The IPD bars and braces will go on as soon as the car gets back. I think im gonna cut the springs and maybe get some fatter tires. I can't decide whether or not to mod this heavily or purchase another car... time will tell.

The turn signal assemblies are still there, separated from the headlight bucket.. unless Sam broke them off

Shop about 15 minutes from Montgomery. We met there at the 1st SE Meet.

I can't thank Sam enough for the car.
