2 weeks after buying it and putting over 1k$ into it.. i was welcomed with a knocking motor driving home (35 mile drive) and broke the connection rod in piston number 1
Motor work time!
what caused it all
For some reason, i REALLY like this look
The Teflon on the supercharger rotors looks AMAZING!
LIM Gaskets were not in to bad of shape, For an l67 LOL

oh here we go!
Most people would have gave up when they seen the first pictures. Frame damage, radiator/condencer smashed no head lights, hood smashed, Bumper gone. a-arm shashed tie rod broken, axle snapped, took me one night... and i had it driving like it didnt happen, oh, and 1,077.5. (axles, tire rods, a-arm, breaks, struts, etc.)
