I've put around 2000 miles on it so far, since it's winter here I don't drive it and haven't put much on it after I installed the LT headers.

Thank you for saving that car. I can't believe some people. It's looking good and you really scored a deal!

Quite simply, some people have more money than brains, referring to the guy that left the car to rot in the field. Enough said.

-Battery dies...
-Owner leaves car sit in a field for 2 years because said owner is either too lazy or too unintelligent to buy a new battery at Pep Boys for $150.

I'm lost on this one.

Ummmmmmm......congrats! Those above have already stated how I feel, no need to keep bad mouthing the guy. Engine bay looks great, is the firewall chewed up or is that just dirt?

It's just dirty. Tried my best cleaning everything in the engine bay.

Well I took it to a local shop a friend of my owns. Sunroof has been fixed, was the motor. Also, the radio hasn't been fix yet, I bought a used reciever and that didnt work once trying to program it and what not, the shop believes it's the stock amp. So, we have ordered one of those(I wont get charged if that's not what the problem is). I needed to car back to take it to Florida, so that is going to wait until I get back.

I made it to Florida and the car drove like a dream. About 1400 miles. Everything works at it should besides the radio, which I brought my wireless speakers. I was averaging around 22MPG, always using premium 93.

Also, before I left I found a new front bumper and fender on FB marketplace, bought those for $250 together. Local shop that does great work will be painting them and should have then done once I get back around Feb 5th.

Now that you got it down here you should have no issue finding any replacement parts that you need if you prefer to buy locally. These cars are all over Florida.

I got the windows tinted before I left to FL as well. I tried uploading the video of the headers and exhaust sound after I completed that but the video won't upload.

Jonesee20 · 02-16-2020, 09:13 AM

Made it back home, ran great, no problems, put around 3000 miles on it during the trip. Came back and took it to the shop and radio/sound has been fixed. All it needed was the stock amp replaced. 😁. Just picked up the new bumper and fender from the paint shop. Will be putting those on in the next week or so, along with a new aftermarket grille and spoiler.

Jonesee20 · 02-16-2020, 05:25 PM

Have the fender on, pain in the ass. New grill, fog light assembly installed.
