Broken Stuff

Here’s a list of stuff that needs fixin’:

  • Engine
    • He said it overheated and he put a new head gasket on.  It started burning oil after that point, so I assume some cylinders are polished and there might be warpage.
    • He then, at some later point, neglected the oil to the point that the engine “blew”.  He said it seized up but he was able to get it moving again and limped it to a truck stop.  It barfed oil all over the ground, and the oil pan is breached.  No idea if the block is shot.
  • Windshield busted badly
  • Hood fit is poor with interference on the passenger side rear corner.  The interference cause paint damage which has begun surface rusting
  • Significant body rust
  • Scraped rear bumper
  • Antenna mount stub in hatch lid that requires removal
  • A/C has new condenser but a leak somewhere
  • “Whatever you do, don’t use the parking brake”
  • Driver’s seat is badly ripped
  • Aftermarket “Indiglo” gauge faces don’t work…remove
  • Left front fender dented, marker light busted
  • Driver’s door bent or warped
  • Left and right door handles sticky
  • Both side view mirror cables barely/non functional
  • Driver’s seat belt jammed in buckle receiver
  • Missing proper battery clamp
  • Missing windshield wiper motor and armatures (they were parted off for some jackasses at the Lemons race I was at!  🙂  ).
  • Cigarette lighter plug
  • Left driver’s side vent has a slider under it that doesn’t move
