Well i forgot to take pictures of the carpet when i took it off and cleaned it. And the surface rust on the bottom of it for being soaked in water for days. But oh well. Here is when i was done cleaning and sprayed with undercoating just in case.

This is how it sat while getting cleaned

Guess what i bought!!!


Thats right a 7 bolt complete engine. It was running good then a sound was coming from the tranny so i pulled it apart to see what it was and then to install it and send it.

I dont know if i can upload a video here but wow!! Just wow. The noice coming from the tranny was the flywheel bolts!!! My friend i bought it from said it was the throw out bearing because when he pressed the clutch it went away. But damn all the bolts were loose. I didn’t get to take a pic as i was surprised at what i saw. But oh well this engine was sitting on a car for 9 years without turning it on so id figured.

And oh well in it went and to call it a night.

Axles and suspention bushings all nice and tight. And installed a new engine harness because the one that came with this gst was wired for the 1g cas. So i saved it for the other project. Radiator with fans installed and all the innercooler pipes and upper installed aswell.

Then i got it to run right so i went to clean the wheels cause tires had a bunch of dirt inside from the accident. Balanced and cleaned.

And how it currently sits. But it keeps wanting to overheat on me. Temperature rises while on the freeway. Not when im in city though. Weird. But ill keep checking it.

All late LOL and no I haven’t but it may be the water pump idk and running a gay ebay 16g i found laying around the shop
That stock brown radiator looks pretty suspect

I just noticed you are running a stock air box with an aftermarket intake with a stock 2g mass air flow sensor.

Would you be willing to sell that intake?
 
Nomore temp issues thanks @chrystler kid
It was the radiator i did a swap with the spyder i got for parts and nomore issues at all especially in these texas 100 plus heat. And bought a heat shield for 40 bucks shipped and sold my stock one for 35 shipped so i guess i got a good deal.
