Sold it, bought a boosted Z blew it twice, sold that, bought a Civic, traded that bought a Mazda 6, crashed that (sleep behind the wheel), bought this. Times are hard and everyone who knows me personally on the org know my reasons behind getting her back and why I had to.

Put her out of her misery? Its easier to fix her up then to throw out a perfectly good working car. Go look for my old build thread and see her original transformation, this is nothing

i thoroughly believe that you could simply spray some carb spray over that 'paint' and it would drip right off leaving the OEM color behind.



I feel like taking a tinkle on an ecNOtec...

You know thats possibly true, maybe I should grab some mineral spirits and go to town lol. Nah the drivers door was replaced and the fender needs to be changed so it will be resprayed.

Believe me a tear came to my eye when I saw it in person, the springs are even cut springs

Thanks man, I cant wait to get her done, this will be fun.

I also went back to the guys house today and picked up some sportlines and a door panel. I also found my old z bumper there, still contemplating if it will be put back on.

I think bigfoot is blurry,
that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra
scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster, roaming the countryside.

Good luck with the rebuild. Should be fun!

Thanks for all the responses I will respond later on tonight.

Update:

ok havent been able to lift the car yet, will do so tomorrow but upon driving it my girlfriend noticed the smell of burning oil. As I was driving smoke started coming out the engine bay. Upon further inspection I checked the oil filter and that thing was hanging by a thread, 6 turns later it was back on.

I started the car back up a couple of hours later and noticed the leak was still there, long story short the filter has a huge crack in it and the oil is coming out through there.

My theory is someone was trying to take it off and broke it or they used a filter that was lying around.

Any other theories?

Wow. The person who had this before you bought her back needs to be slapped. Seriously. Granted they did give you all the new stuff (Motor, trans, interior) but they took a beautiful car, made it hideous, and HOW THE HELL DOES A CAR GET INFESTED WITH ROACHES???!!!??!?! Lol. Thats nuts. Goodluck man. If I had the chance to buy back my old car, I would too. I have too many memories with my old J and I really miss it, so I know what you mean in having to buy her back. Goodluck man, I cant wait to see her in tip-top shape again!!!
