He didn't . That is what might have caused the valve spring to fail which caused the first motors death. What ever happend to the cam anyway? I would have put it in the new motor with new springs.

I think Haro lost the motor, this is a junkyard jewel....

bingo.. the cam was sold off on clubgp to cover the cost of the new motor... its got a 98 GTP motor in it now with 100k at the time...

this is sunday afternoons project... ripped out the carpet to have it look like this..

ya, its bad



i can now see why GM wants almost $200 per section of this stuff, its pretty complex with all the padding and such



i found some new water problems i was unaware of before, check out how wet the padding is


i knew the rear piece is going to be replaced since some of the carpet is actually missing from some acid, so i am only working on the front...

i worked on it in my driveway for a while, had some laundry detergent soaking on it for a while, notice how the carpet holds all water...it soaked for almost 30 min


after that i took it to the carwash to powerwash it, with some help from the van


heres the inside of the car, check out all that rust from the sitting water! eeeek!


have not yet installed the tailights


secrets in the works


here the carpet hangs to dry, i think it turned out pretty good for its first cleaning, i can always keep doing it

lookin good for sure!!!

it looked amazing for sure, can't wait to see this amazing progress...

good job!

:o

WOW!

Good job andrew!


LOL, who'* *-Class Mercedes? The Caravan looks SO HOTT next to it

that would be my neighbors... dont ask me how he affords it, he traded in his hail-damaged pt cruiser for it :*
