to go with the "beater" thread I'm starting a beater photo collection.
Paid $162.50 for this 94 spirit with a blown head gasket. Did the allpar.com half-fast "slip n slide" method of replacement. Jacked up on the catalytic convertor with the mainfolds still attached, lifted the head about an inch. The clothesline is not bearing much weight, just that corner was sagging a bit.
I used manila envelopes to sort all the nuts and bolts. One envelope was "belt driven stuff", it made sense to me.
I'm particularly proud of my "beverly hillbillies" timing belt tensioning system.
When it got running, there was still tons of antifreeze in the exhaust, so I was worried, but it cleared out.
I had tons of 25 cent oil (from a walmart mispricing incident) that I used to flush the system.
Dodge somehow had access to a red paint that lasts longer without fading than Ford or GM. The car still looked hot 11 years later.
