My A/C quit back in the summer and I noticed that the fan wasn't kicking on when I engaged the A/C. I was sitting in the car with the scan tool watching the coolant temp and fan commands, and I noticed some steam coming from up front. What luck! of all the places the radiator tank could split wide o...

Yeah, it's a little sketchy...but you can lift an engine from the bottom with a cherry picker. https://youtu.be/xuwgxGyi-Lc I had to cut the engine mounts out and change them to make the steering rack fit better. After butchering the stock subframe, I welded some structure back in and made my rack ...

Update: Just repainted entire car and got the interior all done! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220703/c686371bd6ef5fe9d6e949ea6ab734e7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220703/bda375d879bffb5f39f463673a5f3b01.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220703/f6e7ab5c6f65332471c8ec83f742c86f.j...

IMG_20220617_085648592a.jpg I found this at the local PaP, has a nice "Doral" tire (I thought those were cigarettes) with a '19 date code. $21.50 I think it was after I returned my bent rim as a core. I lost a decent tire on the core, but having it removed wouldve cost as much as the core...

IMAG0401.jpg Since this picture was taken, I have added another Muncie/Getrag 282 5-speed Beretta transaxle, two Nissan 300ZX 5-speeds, a Mopar NV2500 5-speed, and one of the two 'spare' BW T-5 "World Class" SBC 5-speeds (the one which has a Hurst short-throw shifter setup), PLUS my 'spar...

Hey watch getting those grubby transmissions so close to the Mullet Camaro Woody!

I am still resisting LS engines...because LS's are still just a little harder to find in good shape for a good price around here So I shouldn't mention the one I just picked up for $200 with a trans? :P :lol: https://i.imgur.com/IppXm4w.jpg Damn that's a screamin' deal! My FIL has a 64 Impala SS th...

Oh that sucks man! That was one of my fears with the Speedy Lite-5 17s that I had on my last car since 2004. LOVED those things and was always a little worried one would get ruined and screw up the set. They lasted through 2 different Berettas in 2 different colors and I had planned to use them RWD...

I'm learning that my new freeway commute is pretty tough on my cars! I was in the GT, looking over my shoulder to see that I was clear to change lanes, and BOOM biggest pothole of my life. Instantly a major vibration so I thought I was getting a flat. Once I was off the highway I looked out the fron...

I am still resisting LS engines, mostly because I haven't finished all my wicked plans with older SBC builds that I still have sitting around here yet, and because LS's are still just a little harder to find in good shape for a good price around here, but they are definitely the way to go if starti...

The car was getting a little raspy, so finally time for a new muffler. Still was rockin' the OEM (!) I just ordered stock replacement stuff from RA, I figured the ol' 3.1 is wheezing away at 180K, and any old muffler will be enough breathing for it. The pipe is near mint. Someone deleted the cat yea...

I'm not surprised actually -I have yet to replace ball-joints on ANY of my Berettas, and the only inner tie-rod I've had to replace is the one I mentioned that the bushing completely disintegrated on for some reason. Poly, er, um, not really a fan. It is supposed to last longer, but I've seen plent...

It ended up being a bad tire. I'm too frugal for my own good sometimes. A while back I got something that looked like a hypodermic needle in the edge of the tread near the sidewall. 2 local shops wouldn't fix it. Sooo I put fix a flat in it. Not doing that again. On the 3rd test drive rotating my do...

I decided it was time to investigate the extreme vibration/shuddering that I've been experiencing which hasn't gotten any better.. I recently changed jobs so now my commute is all highway. This issue is worse at 70mph or so. Before I was pretty much country driving so it wasn't a big deal Anyhow fir...

:wink: Yep, gotta watch out for those "A" holes. :ROFL: -Sorry, it is late, I had to do it! :oops: Can't see much of it from that shot, but what I CAN see looks like a really clean little MG! Must feel pretty good to see so much effort turn into so much progress towards the end and finall...
