Took about 4 hours of repair time. Alot of that was beating the rad support so all the pieces would line up. The car was down for 10 days. Back on the road, with deer whistles this time. Not sure if they work, but I have 3 cars and the only one without the whistles, I hit a deer in.
Thanks guys. The deer was still barely alive and didnt wanna throw it in the hatch and have it 'come to' and go nuts in my car. (Tommy boy scene, lol) The place I work at doesnt let you bring weapons on site so I wasnt packing at the time. All I really need now is a left side turn signal. The...
Finally got the car back together after the run in with a 6 point buck. Thanks again to the generous help of Duy (Akito). here are the before and after pics...
Just got back from my 3 hour drive from Akito's house. What a great guy. He hooked me up with pretty much all I need to get back on the road. I should have it back together in a few days. I'll throw up some progress and finished pics too. Thanks again so much Akito!!!
I was getting a bad signal from the key to the starter and wired up a pushbutton start switch on the dash. It turns the eng over anytime you push it but the engine wont start unless the key is "on'. Try jumping a 12v source to the small wire connector on your starter. It wont start unless the...
My sig is with H+Rs and HP blues. I love them. they're low, but not too low for me. They gave me copious amounts of negative camber. Good for handling, bad for tire wear.
Both of those look awesome. I agree with suprastanger, the 87 looks so clean, it still looks great with the turnsig covers. Heck, I think it looks great with them!
Holy crap is right, Batman! I am thoroughly surprised that the car even ran. Glad you figured it out and should def be alot better now. I've def never heard of timing being that far off before.
There's a 3 inch shallow dent in the passanger fender but I'm not too concerned. I think I might try the old rope around the tree deal. thanks for the idea. I think the headlights are not removable from the rad support and the headlight mechanisms are all screwed up. They might end up being...
Yeah, it's bent in. I tried hammering/pulling it back out but its pretty tough. I think this getting bent is what screwed up my headlights. I dont have to change the pic in my signature now do I...? jk
Thanks for the responses guys. I do plan on repairing it. The largest damage is to the headlights. they're all messed up. I especially appreciate akito's offer. I took the pics after I got home so I didnt get any of the buck. A few friends stopped and took a couple pics with camera phones...
I left my car sitting for a week or two and the battery went dead. Grabbed my batt charger/starter and hooked it up. When I turned the key, the starter didnt move and the the headlights were going up and down and my wipers turned on by themselves. I have no idea whats going on. This is...
