Two cars and can't afford to get either of them going, people have some strange priorities.I wonder how hoopty the cars would be after they got back together/if at all. Doing just one of these cars the right way costs more than enough.
Just some notes to help you out:Your coolant fan issue is probably a dead sensor in the water neck by the thermostat. You should ditch the manual fan switch setup and let the ECU automatically cycle the fan. It's more of an idle fan anyways, as if you're overheating moving, you have water...
