RemieGino14 Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Been lagging the damn thing, since I was getting a cherry picker and a engine stand. So heres an update where I'm at so far. The Manifold was completely frozen so my buddies wanted to saw it off, eventually we got it off by just being smart and WD-40 the bastard off. Apparently my tranny is fine. My crankshaft spins fine, so were gonna take a look at it tomorrow since it got dark since we were doing other things. As you can see in the engine bay...well I guess I'm going to have to go for a new shell. Found out the frame was rusted through under the car. - RemieGino14 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemieGino14 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 So after weeks of debating and lagging the hell out of the engine (In which I'm still having a hard time putting on the hoist by myself) I've come to a conclusion, f*ck it I'm getting a different shell instead of dealing with this one. Why pay for 5k, where theres a shell near by me for just $100+ at Pick-A-Part. I just need a manual car up and running before I finish schooling, that way I can still use UTI's garage and work on my damn car. Lol. - RemieGino14 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplyedmind Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I will help u if u need help . I am local I think I pm'd u my number. I wouldn't give up yet . It is very fixable. But there are good cars out there for 200-1000 running and driving or just real good shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldlion Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I would HIGHLY recommend getting a nearly rust free shell unless you absolutely LOVE body work. Then you get to spend your time and money on suspension and go fast swaps and goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
