New member in NC

Post by pumpkin king »

I been a member for a few months but have not been very active. I've been on the wall about keeping the car for a long time and havent spent much time and effort on it. The story behind it, I bought the car frome a good good friends grandmother who didnt take care of the car like she should have I guess. The car started to knock and rattle with the oil light came on so I took a look at it for her. I popped the vc off and oil was just caked all over the top of the head. When I told that I really could promise that the car would run and showed her the motor. Then I popped the vc off my probe to show her what it should look like she told me I could buy it from her CHEAP!!.
Its a 95 rs atx with 110k on it
The interior is in great shape
The exterior is ok few dents and dings
I have flushed the motor with kerosene once it needs to be done some more. Still knocks not too bad. The front seal need to be replaced too.
I had planned on swaping it out to a klde that I have layin around but my parts car got sold so I either gonna keep it or sale/trade it right now
Nothing special but heres some pics

:shock: OMG. That's the worst I've seen... Maybe ever. Looks like Castrol, or one of those waxy oils, and never been changed. You're going to have to flush it several times, and change your filter each time.
I remember you, too. I like your screen name.

Yeah that oil had the consistancy of peanut butter. If I do decide to keep it I'd defintly got my work cut out for me. I'll probly just go ahead and swap it out for a bp and a 5spd instead.
