-Allstate or similar roadside assistance -Major credit card for rental car This is how I handled my Neon when it broke a timing belt, except I broke down near where a friend lived, so I was able to leave the car at his place for a few weeks until my dad could tow it up. Its so much easier if...

c7 Carbon makes one, but buy with caution, they were banned from this site for bad customer service. -AM3

I wouldn't put money into it unless you were making it a lemon racer. Also, I approve of the Flogging Molly lyrics (even though they weren't quite right) on the inside of the hatch. And the crown royal shift boot. -AM3

Typically, most people will agree with the general rule, don't pay more than $1000 for a non-running MkIII, but that can vary widely. But it really depends on the shell and how bad you want to build one. Like I said, I paid $1600 for mine. It had no rust and minimal body work needed. As I'm sure...

Yes, but much closer than I am, lol :D -AM3

That's what I thought, but being young, I haven't seen everything. -AM3

So true. I mean seriously, he does what we told him not to, then warned us about it like he had stumbled across something new and ground breaking. He did it twice as I recall! -AM3

I think the record is like 3 or 4... -AM3

Honestly, when buying a BHG motor, expect it to need a rebuild. Everything should be machined, block and head decked, ARP studs and a MHG. That will cost roughly $1200-$1500 minimum, and it can go up from there. If the body and interior are in really good shape, then maybe $1500, but generally...

I've never heard that before. I could see it with a manifold built by some Cletus in his shed with a MIG welder and some spare parts. But a properly built FFIM that has had flow testing done shouldn't have this problem. -AM3

I think I found him, he's "Famous" around here. By famous, I mean he's a 2 time WOS champion... :3d_frown: Here is the thread http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?157686-DO-NOT-BUY-Powerspirit-CT26 -AM3

My understanding is that most engines are built this way. -AM3

I'll be honest, 1000 pounds is a really ambitious/optimistic goal. Could it be done? Maybe. But you'll have to get really creative. Take some of the suggestions in this thread. -AM3

Or you could just put the heat shields back on the turbo... -AM3

They were able to do it at the factory, so its not impossible. It will be expensive, it will require someone who is very talented. How much is it worth to you... -AM3

By rebuilding, we mean take the whole panel apart, have a new piece of vinyl cut, and replace the entire piece of vinyl that is torn. Now can you quit reposting this? -AM3

3rd time's a charm, huh? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?159505-Tear-in-vinyl-upper-door-liner&p=1841820 :P On a more serious note, your best bet is to have a shop rebuild the entire panel than to try and have just a tear repaired. That, or try finding a replacement, but that...

Laughed. :biglaugh: Then realized I'm in the 80%... :nono: -AM3

Did anybody else start reading this in Jeremy Clarkson's voice about halfway through? :P -AM3

Its awesome, there's pretty much any car you can imagine. I was the only Mk III both times I went, but there were a couple of Mk IV's. -AM3
