37843, I have twins now!
Posted by Nightfall, Aug-21-07 08:43 AM
It's a 96 auto and all it needs is a new head gasket, a major tune up and alot of love lol! Just picked it up from the junkyard yesterday, and I can't wait to tear into it! Not going to put alot of money into it though, just get it running good, clean it up and maybe throw on a few extra parts I have laying around the garage. I wish I had pics of all the damn trash that was in it, I swear you couldn't see the back seats/cargo area or the floor board. Someone did NOT appreciate this car one bit, but it's in good hands now.

If you need a hand with the headliner let me know and I'll tell you what you need to recover it. It might cost you $40 in materials. Also, if the tranny is shot and you want another one to rebuild I have one here.

Sorry to whore up your thread. Good find though. Have fun with it.

Yeah it does need ALOT of work. As far as how much I paid for it, I actually made money off it with all the change I gathered while cleaning it out lol. Not to mention the new Infinity speakers/crossovers and iPod radio adapter that was left in it. I feel like I won the lottery! Oh and that thing in front of the egr is an aftermarket cruise control unit, which will be removed.

Nice pick up. How much did it cost you? I have some space in my backyard and might be picking another 2G to mess around with.

I think I've got more than 24 hours of work in it already lol.

So far I've replaced the head gasket, water pump, timing belt/tensioner, motor mounts, hood, door handles, a window regulator, struts, currently installing rear disc brakes not to mention completely disassembling the interior to clean and replace damaged panels. Got a set of 2ga sideskirts too I still need to go get and install. Now if I could find some decent wheels...
