Took my Senior pics last Wednesday!

So she ate the thermostat gasket and spewed coolant everywhere! So I need a new gasket and then I can drive her again =)

Little update. Got Liability on her so I can drive her around! But she didn't pass smog.... Hopefully my uncle and I can fix that! And a pic of her and Sir Lancelot ;D

[Luke Girard]

So I got the stereo installed today and installed the drivers side sport seat. She's coming along nicely!

We got her running last night! We had 2 hoses switched so instead of fuel going to the injectors it was air =P I'm glad it was a super easy fix! She runs and drives great. I drove her home last night and I can't wait to get her registered so I can drive her everyday! From here on it it's cosmetics and things like that! And here's a pic of her this morning =)

So we got everything all back together tonight! It started but it's not getting fuel. We didn't have a code reader so my uncles going to borrow one from his shop so we can see why the check engine light is flashing. If anybody knows what the problem is please let me know. =)

My $300 Beater, Guinevere

Progress from last night. We got the radiator and fan in and some hoses attached. All that's left to do are the spark plugs and airbox! She'll be running tomorrow! Can't wait to drive her for the first time!

[Luke Girard]

Got the head on! We got it on yesterday and all together! All we have left to do is put the timing belt on and then put the radiator in and reconnect all the hoses! I will be running by the end of this week!

[Luke Girard]

Here's a picture of the old timing belt. This is the whole reason why I had to replace the cylinder head. People don't ever forget to change your timing belt! It will fuck your engine up! Half of the belt has no teeth.....

[Luke Girard]

We worked on her some more last night. We got everything cleaned up and ready for reassembly! She will be running by next week! I'm still looking for coupe seats and haven't found any yet. I plan on going to a few junkyards tomorrow to find some. Here's the block after we cleaned it up. ;D

[Luke Girard]

Amazing find! I thought mine was good @$500 but it is wrecked. I'd most certainly rather have some relatively minor engine issues than what I have to deal with! Subscribed!

Thanks! I sure felt lucky picking her up for only $300! I felt like I was robbing the guy but if I didn't buy it it was going to the junkyard for $350. I had to save it from that! And he had already bought an e36 lol he was older though so I doubt he'll rice it out.

So the e34 haven't sold yet but I made progress on Guinevere! I had her towed to my uncles house a few weekends ago and we just started working on her last night. We were able to remove the cylinder head and intake manifold along with some other things. All we have to do now is finish taking the timing belt off and clean up the pistons and then we'll be ready to reassemble with the refinished cylinder head! And I'm on spring break next week so hopefully we'll get it done before I go back to school and I'll be able to daily her and park the e34.

Now for some pics. I only took them after and not before. Didn't think to sorry =P

So I am getting my e34 ready to sell. I can't afford to keep to cars and the e30 is easier to work on anyways. Looking to get $2,500for the e34. I'll post a for sale thread as soon as its ready.
