  • 97 SC2

    I bought this car for $500 knowing it needed work.
    160xxx miles



    Obviously i need new ones but that will be later here is what im working on first.




    That last one shows how bad the clutch was got to thinking this guy must have been riding the clutch in every gear lol but it was the stock one and at 160xxx wth.


    My favorite picture.


    as you can see on the left a bolt is missing well this is the case with the right rear as well heres a nice reminder of do your own work to your OWN car he snapped 2 bolts that are currently stuck in the head.Going to be ez outing when i finish clutch.


    This damn thing leaks like a civ thx to not having a decent rain up until yesterday i just noticed it now i need to pull almost a whole new interior.(Im going to remove the whole roof and put one without a sunroof in it maybe havent decided yet after all they aint my thing anyway.


    Bone Stock


    Looks pretty good lol

    so this is my project will be fixing it to perfect running condition before ANY mods are done to it.

                          confirmed:Spun rod bearing,

                          no other visual damage going to take block/head to machine shop have them check for warpage as well as replace the rod bearings.

                          heres some pics of block/head/oil pan/and how my garage currently looks

                            well i took the head/block/flywheel down to the local machine shop he said about $475

                            im thinking thats not bad for the following:

                            fixing the valve cover bolt problem
                            installing new crankshaft & bearings
                            installing the forged pistons
                            resurfacing the flywheel
                            resurfacing the head/block
                            Cleaning both

                            so when he's done or rather im done paying him it will be rebuild time..... [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/rolleyes.gif[/img]

                            $200 worth in gaskets and mounts
