Congrats, it looks nice from the outside.

MissDSM · 06-22-2007, 11:19 PM

Thanks, and yes, clifton is pretty far, but it all worked out.

I started cleaning her up, inside and out this week. The paint is ridiculous, whichever previous owner that decided to get the cheap maaco special sucks at life. Good news though, it might not be a headgasket. Me and my friend drove it around the block and saw the temp starting to rise so we brought it back, somehow ended up feeling the radiator... one side was normal-very hot, and the other side was barely luke warm... then we check the talon, which we didnt even drive, we just let it run for maybe 5 minutes, and both sides were hot as hell. So idk, im probably gonna try a thermostat first. My friend has a 95 and hes had to replace his 3 times now... so its worth a shot

Get it running, see how well she runs then decide whether im selling this one or the talon. Ill swap most of the talon motor parts onto this if i keep it, but after its fixed im gonna focus more on making her look the way i want... including lowering it, how bout them springs/struts your sellin?! lol

Yeah, am i supposed to push it when Im switching parking spots at my house? Because if I recall correctly, you probably moved it more then I did when it was at your house, smart ass.

Oh wait wait EDIT: racing me when you know you have a blown headgasket... even more brilliant
