so, some of you may have seen my other post regarding trading my protege boosted for an SRT-4 in hopes i could flip it and get the money i never got for the protege.
well, i did end up doing the trade.
And i had sais i would do a build thread...until i got the car...then it became a rebuild thread to square zero and then a build thread...
there will be hundreds of pictures as i document my way through this fucking mess.
i got the car, it is a rebuilt tittle. picke dup 2 days ago and i already hate it.
but you know what? there is eomthing behind all this fuckups that just screams SAVE ME!
and well, i have decided to give a shot at this...to bring it back to nearly stock look. Engine seems solid, so far...and tranny, well..it is leaking...but all these issues will be resolved little by little.
i may fall in love wiht it and keep it to auto-x or ditch it and buy me another car.
anyways, here it is:
it looked nice and i traded it.
but then the nightmare begins:
The rice is strong with this one
yep, fence wire holding the aGP WG in place
Yep, that BOV is wroth shit..blown and all
but..did you notice?
installed upsidedown?
one of the many busted bolts
where the wideband used to be....
lonely pipe is lonely
when autozone is closed....
yea...household wiring with allligator clips
more shitty wiring
roaches wanna go fast too
LED light show inside the vents...
Wideband harness cut...already ordered replacement
sheetrock screw, self-tapping holding the gauge pod
ingredients for ultimate rice recipe
remember? yes...yes..THAT IS A FUCKING PIECE OF WOOD holding a 25$ part together...who fucking does that!
mandatory color matching floormatts
this was just the first 2 hrs of work...or can i say un-work.
