Project 6th Gen, Just got it this past weekend Options

[celi_wabbit]

So, here it is the start of this project. Story is that I bought it for $500 with blown motor (that's what the owner thought), towed it home and founf out a couple things. The motor is not blown, the timing is only off! it is so off that it's causing some ticking noise and flooding the engine with gas when you start the car. It also badly needs of brake lines, somehow the lines from under the floor board got rusted and he cut the rusted part (about 9 inches long) and patched or jerry rigged it. Also has a small dent on the passenger side back fender and created a small surface rust, this is an easy fix.


Things I bought already for upgrade so far....

GT4 front bumper (comes with Headlight bracket, fog light, and reinforcement bar that the fog light also bolts up to).
Lowering Springs
KYB Struts
Interior stuff


Oh! by the way...looking for a GT4 hood. Preferably a white one.


Here some before pics....

Looking great! Did you get the engine running properly?

Yeah! all it was is the timing belt was way off, like a quarter of a turn on the pulley. The guy had taken it to the garage to change the oil pump and somehow they mange to fudge up the timing gear on the crank side. Instead of the pin dot facing towards you, they faced it towards the engine and that totally missed up the key that slides into the crank gap. This is why he thought the engine was blown, bc it was knocking so hard and smell of gas when he starts the car. I just had to find another pin and gear and set the timing properly. Now it runs like a champ, but still needs a little bit of tweaking on timing.
