[golde30]

wow nice work. how much elbow grease did you use for that job?:p

[StereoInstaller1]

what did you use? my engine is filthy and nothing is helping!

Dude, I took it apart, cleaned and painted.

Blown headgasket was the start...got harder after that.

I spy with my little eye a missing hoseclamp on the crankcase breather hose atop the valvecover

It's also missing the top radiator bracket.

well if were going into details... your missing the passanger side shock cap. and your FRAM oil filter has 666 marked on it.

Baaahhahahaaha...someone spotted it!

Worry not, it will get less than 20 miles before getting a Mann.

Thanks for all the comments, guys.


Oh, and James...no Swastikas.

Since we are playing pick the mistakes out...it's missing the ICV rubber holder.

Looks amazing, mine looks like the pre photo right now.

Shit man...you missed the ICV hose being cracked too.

You should have seen what the PO did about the intake boot. They smeared silicone all over it. A new boot is what, $20 at the stealer?

I have fixed, replace, cleaned and painted damn near everything north of the block. I should have painted the block too, but it likely won't be in there too long.

Thanks for the love, boys.

The headgasket was the only problem, no more coolant in the oil? Good deal, I was scared it would be more serious.

[SchnellerVert]

Now come and clean my new pos eta. It's so grimey it beyond silly. I have be slowly working on it, but not to your standards.

Shit, man....nothing like your car. Although you started with a clean ride to begin with, still, your car is beautiful.

Besides, look at all the details I still have to tend to to get R3V approval:

1. FRAM oil filter
2. ICV boot and mount
3. Wipers and squirters
4. Hose clamp on crankcase breather
5. Fan shroud
6. Upper radiator mount
7. Lower right radiator mount
8. Under car heat shield
9. Left and right brake ducts
10. Antenna

The list does not even include alarm, stereo, wheels/tires, struts, shocks, springs, CABs, the car needs new rear swaybar dogbones, decent seats, 1 new door card, 1 new rear panel, re-upholster rear deck, drinkholder...the list goes on.

Oh yeah, gotta do an "I-whatever-panel" batttery, too.

More pics to come, fellas!
