opened a new thread for this car as idon't want to contaminate my other thread with 4 cylinders of fail(i already did but dont want to continue) s this car is bad ugly, body is straight only one dent but damn this engine.
It is a 91 vl 2.2 tbi auto 141k car its white and cleaned up not too bad but the main problem is the engine it needs ;
radiator
coolant reservoir
most likely a water pump
new head gasket maybe more, as of know i do not know
almost all the interior but don't care about anything but driver seat to be replaced
maybe a fuel pump
clear coat the top ( may not happen)
all this and I bought it for $100 bucks dont know if its worth it yet main thing is power plant to figure out

RUN!!! lol just kidding. Just pressure wash the engine bay and car and it will be fine.

I could crush it, but need something to get around without breaking. If it runs I will save it, I am not interested in a full engine rebuild as I do not have the funds to do so.

Hopefully all goes well and I can do what I have planned, roll with it for a year and if the z is ready sell this one (if i can)if not I will keep it.

I would fix it and sell it, but that is just me. I don't know how bad that engine is!

I picked one up for 250, put another 250 into it and sold it for 750.

I did a radiator and head gasket for 250 bucks essentially, but money is money.

Might just end up doing that need $$ more than another car, I really wanted to use it for couple months to slap in my 3400 though I don't know yet

Right now I'm uusing my dads 92 retta gt as the loaner both my cars are broken

those cyl chambers look scary as hell...... is that just from the head gasket??!!!

Yes its from the gasket but it looks like the previous head gasket jobwas done half assed, rebuilt head ,with used bolts on the inside and new on the outside its odd but that's what it looks like. Got it turn over

honestly, not much i could use that would be small enought to ship, my car is in nearly perfect shape except for the paint faded on the hood and trunk lid, i could use a spare 2.2 valve cover and intake and tb, to paint and port and what not tho... idt theres anything else i need, but i do need alot of phase one parts....
