being given a car

well gents..
we got er..
she fired up on the third try. she had not moved, with the battery connected since the begining of the summer.
Smallblock 350, had to replace the thermostat and put 14 bucks of fuel into it.
Thing runs like a champ. stereo works. had micheal jacksons thriller in the tape deck.

We plan on some CHROME horns on the front. we found a smelly tree so we put that in the window.
its sea foam green, with a white floral interior. doors are carpeted, and only three open.
more to come.

oh yea. they dont care about exuast here. The owner just put a straight pipe on his 7.3 liter turbo diesel. catalitic converter? whats that?

PICS! i need pics - sounds :thepimp:

2 barrel or 4 barrel? If it's a 4 barrel, flip that air cleaner cover over. Rochester Quadrajects make an awesome, throaty noise when the secondary kicks in.

lg-
there will be pics as soon as its light out. this entire operation has been under the cover of night.
Thing is a effin champ. just spun her arround the block just now.
turns out one door wont open, and one wont unlock.

If it has a standard air filter cover with the small inlet pipe, flipping the cover over will not only sound much better, it'll make a noticeable improvement in performance.

untill we address the slippin tranny issue, performance is not what we are going after.

Probably low on oil. Oil change will do a tranny good.

This car was not taken care of, as well as it could have been.
the oil has been changed three times.. in three years.
The power steering fluid is needing to be flushed, and there was some water in the radiator. had to take care of that.
The oil needs a change also, but a shop wont take care of it, till we replace the oil pan.
its a project, but it runs, and thats all that matters.
Im the hired hand, and my buddy is the mechanical genious. together we cant fail.

Chrome Horns! I'm gonna die of jealousy! POST PICS!!!

dude do nothing to it excpet make sure it runs right.

that car is PIMP. leave it alone man - i'm so jealous

Thread Resurrection.

Umbullit, what actually went down? Were there horns involved? Crushed velvet?
