Rochester,
New_York
Bought this 98 GST and fixed up the body this past winter and babied it. It would over heat from time to time idling but never driving which was kind of weird and I always thought it was lacking power. The coolant bubbled and the pressured popped off the coolant backup even. I went digging for info and it appears I have a blown head gasket and it also shoots out the white smoke when it over heats. I put in so much time and money into the restoring the car and got a list of mods from the owner which appear to be pretty good. Are there any guys who can do this repair near Rochester new York? Or any shops I can reasonably take this to? Or is this going to cost me an arm and a leg and its worth just getting rid of the car? Mods list.
