wrecked rs turbo

[talonalex92]

so im buying this wrecked rs turbo fwd, and it needs a new radiator and thats it. well a hood and fender too, but i have parts cars for that. and im wondering what else i should replace while im in there, im thinkin the water pump, timing belt/tensioners and im not too sure what else i should do? ideas and a path to follow would be sweet.

You could possibley replace your intake manifold, exhaust manifold,throttle body gasket etc...Try to replace as much gaskets,hoses as possibe if you can. Basically simple little things, that go along way.

Was the radiator damaged in the accident or just bad. If it went bad check the engine for overheating or warped head.

yeah sounds good, ill end up putting new exh. mani gaskets in becuase ill throw on a new downpipe/exhaust all together and might as well while im in there, and ill probably do all the radiator hoses and vacuum lines just because safe than sorry. as for the radiator, it was accident ruined. somehow the guy did something or other that damaged the hood, driver fender and radiator, and it cant run w.o the radiator, so yeah..should be good to go after all that?
