This is evidence that a GOOD vehicle can become family.
96' ecsb auto 2wd 311k paid $1750 3 years ago.
Pulled its guts out over these 3+ years. Only fixes have been regular wear items, vac pump, bat, tie rod end....ect. Thought the tranny was done last summer then 2 qts of Lucas to swell the seals and it lives again! Its rusty dented and dirty. It gas been treated like a good pair of work boots and it shows. I should just scrap the damn thing but I can't. That would be like shooting your favorite dog, and I simply can't do it. I've been tossing around for the last few months what exactly to do with it and I finally have some ideas.
Its light, about 6k w/my fatass. So it wouldn't take much to make a stealthy little sleeper/DD out of it. Something I can still pull to the scrapper + bracket race at the occasional show. Its gonna need a tranny rebuild anyway and the hpop/injs are getting week sooo.... But what injectors, what pump? Whatever I do its gonna be cheap and utility minded. It needs to still get good mileage and pull up to 20 gross.
Here's wear I've started.
Over a year ago the fb developed a leak and the "tightwad mod" was born.
It has a CPT 4 gauge pillar pod.
My 1st IDM mod.
And an old TS chip with TW tunes.
Some free/cheap things I've done lately.
"Off mod" on the headlights.
Underhood dog hair mat delete.
Nasty side molding delete.
