Bringing this one back to life

The idler gear for the timing belt appears to be a superseded stamped metal type. It should be replaced with a cast gear, since the stamped gear can collapse on itself, letting the timing belt slip

Hey, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

When I flipped my MT2 cabrio, it was the build thread that sold it. I had it well documented of how I got it to when I sold it. I even made a photo album of all the pix I posted here.

That was my thought. I'm just doing what it needs to get running again and won't implode, but I wanted to have it documented so that I have proof that the work was done. Anyone can show a receipt from Blunttech from another car and say they did some work, but if you can't see it, who's to say that it was done (or done correctly)?

Oh, and the top? I'm not sure yet. I may attempt it, but I am factor the dead top into the selling price. I can't see a way to get my money back if I get a top professionally installed, but I'm also not sure I can do a flawless install.

Ya gotta do the top to get the best monies. Maybe looked for a cabrio that's being parted out and get the top and the frame as one unit. Then, all you would have to do is work with the shims to get it aligned.

Car is all finished! I added a couple more pictures. All that's left is a second wash before waxing and vacuuming out the interior! Time to find this car a new owner!
