Indeed....blown motor. Major dents in body too. Inside was nice enough though. Replaced both heads, chains, guides and tensioners from a "cough" sourced motor. All cooling parts replaced also. All told with repairs and cost of car about $3500

Runs fabulously too. Put 2000 miles on her since rebuild and not even a stutter. Touch wood.

Nice one.
The car was obviously washed n valeted for its photoshoot and looks great.....the tailpipes let her down a little though

.......Need to get them shiny cos whenever anyones behind you guaranteed thats what they're lookin at!

Great job, and you saved enough money to get that cough looked at~!

By the way, when the Mrs. drives her beautiful chariot, is there a rattle from the loose pin behind the kick panel?

I worked so hard on the rest of the car, I didnt notice the tail pipes....lol
I will do them next weekend.

Ohio, not sure what you mean? I will have to look at the kick panel tomorrow. But no...no rattle. Just picked up wife from airport and not a rattle in the car.
Wife happy as can be. Tint, dents pulled and satellite radio installed. I am done.

Thanks all.

LOL....the hook up is myself. Hard work to get it right.
The original motor....for those that don't like to search....was driven for a long while with no coolant. Dropped seats from both heads.
