So I go to jump in my eta to drive an hour to pick up a 325is. I just did a timing belt/water pump/cam seals/spark plugs/valve adjustments a few days ago. Crank it over, sounds like the valves are a mile out of adjustment. All of them. There's oil leaking from somewhere. Coolant leaking from somewhere. Oil spitting out of the exhaust. Something is seriously not good.
Fuck it, jump in the trusty Ford Explorer to go pick up this 87 325is for $500. Get there, it's mint - underneath some serious dirt and grime, it hasn't been cleaned in years. Zinneberot with black sport leather. Dude says driveshaft u-joints are bad, he wouldn't recommend driving it. I'm like, well the u-joints aren't gonna break, are you sure it's not the CSB? He's like nope, u-joints. So I'm like well then it will be fine. Jump in, go for a drive. Loud clunk, shifter launches to the side and nearly breaks my wrist. Guibo blew apart, launched the driveshaft into the shifter assembly and broke it. Car is in the middle of the road, in this rich neighborhood with 1/2 million dollar houses. I gave the guy 1/2 the money and told him I'd be back Sunday to pick it up.
I have an eta that sounds like a world war II machine gun, an 87 325is that's an hour away with a broken everything.
Ya know what, My Ford Explorer 5.0 V8 runs perfect, as it always has, with no work needing done. Too bad it doesn't bring a smile to my face while driving it.
PICS OF THE CARNAGE TO COME!!!!
