Well, I finally got to start working on my '99 Eclipse, after having it sit since September. Towed it to my buddy's shop so I could have it under a roof.






I have to say, I love finally getting a southern car. No rust, no rot... unlike my poor '95.

When the boxes from Rock Auto came in, it felt like Christmas. lol. Spent just a bit over a grand for all my control arms, brakes, hubs, belts, timing belt kit, O2 sensor, door handles, heater hoses, and I forgot what else. Not too shabby!

Now for the bad news. After I drained the coolant, I found a bit of oily residue. Not bad, but enough for me to start getting everything together for a headgasket job. Mopar headgasket, Felpro gasket kit for everything else I need, copper spray, and ARP studs.

I'll be working on my car in between work and school, so I'll be updating this whenever time permits. I really hope she'll be ready this year for the Shootout.
