Engine and Trans are back together. Only took 3 trips to the Zone to get the right belts to fit the underdrive pulley.

Now to clean everything and get this beast back on the road. Pics are coming...eventually

Holy Necro Batman! Been a while since I've been on here...

Past few years in a nutshell: Finished the car and drove it until Fall 2012. Hit a deer damaging the passenger side headlight, fender, and hood around the light. Taped the light and drove it for 2 weeks, then ran over a fox on the highway. Couple miles down the road the car just died. Had it towed home and it sat... until last week.

After driving my parent's Jeep Grand Cherokee for the last year, I wanted my car back on the road. (17 MPG just won't do when I drive an hour to get to work)

Started to take a look at the car... no wires loose underneath. Loosened timing cover and saw gear teeth My timing belt slipped/snapped when I hit that fox.

For now, I'm borrowing the hood, fenders, headlights, and front bumper from my dad's MX since he isn't driving it right now. Will be looking for another good set soon.

This weekend I'm towing it out to a buddy's place for the timing belt and a tune-up. Hopefully road ready by Monday. Man I miss driving this car...

(Pics have been taken on my girlfriend's phone for this whole process. They will be posted when I get a chance.)

A HUGE Thank You to my girlfriend for helping with swapping the body parts and my buddy for spending the day wrenching on the car with me

BEFORE (4/19/2014)









... and here's why the car has not ran in 2 years ...


Let the body swapping begin...









Much better now


Now off to fix that timing belt (4/26/2014)


Yeah... pretty sure this is the issue...



Got the car fixed, quick test run it around my buddy's sub, and towed it back home same day. Also fixed power steering leak (missing copper washer) and an oil leak.

Back home the next day I noticed that the back seat had no seat belts, so we swapped them over too



Few minor things left I want to do:
Repaint body
Run wiring and install my sub box in the trunk

Somehow the car is now even more fun to drive
