Default Update: 98-0688

Well it was a tough day.

We went and removed the bumper and front lip from the car, then put the car on a flatbed and made the journey home.

Here's a couple quick camera phone pics:

98-0688 at home safe and sound in her new room.

Good pics coming soon.....

Thanks again to Brian (user '98-0688') for selling the car. I'm sorry that your loss is our gain. We will do our best to make sure she's going to a good home. This has to be the cleanest 98 I've ever witnessed.....!


*edit*

More pics:





.....oh the horror of the rebuild!

Amy bought it. She is Ken's gf.

I believe it blew the motor. And, Ken will probably drop in a new engine...

Brian (user '98-0688') bought the car about 3 months ago and put about 2-3k miles on it after intalling the blower, iirc.....

He had some kind of problem and so had to get the car towed home. Compression test revealed 35psi on cyl #3.....!

He got a new, more reliable s2000 and sold this car to Amy. He was a great seller and transaction went very smooth, although the bank took their sweet time getting the paperwork done so he was also very patient.

The bottom end will get a rebuild/ replacement/ sleeved, depending on the damage.

Priority #1 - get her running.

Priority #2 - get her running fast.

Priority #3 - championship PINK paint job.....

And I have until this Sunday to get done!
