Stripped out bolt hole on the top, which leaves almost half of the pump un-clamped, so water just comes out as it pleases.

Thanks!

How do you fix something like that? Tap it for the next size up bolt?

God this is such a stupid idea, and It's not even cool looking. Don't do it dude, even in a perfect world where nobody ever drops an exhaust manifold on their dick you're only going to get about 10 minutes of fun out of this thing. A buttload of dollars probably to get it running only to find out that it just broke again because you stepped on the gas too hard and it caught on fire.

I worked with a girl that owed a bunch of money on a PT cruiser and was behind on payments, but it was a piece of junk. Her dad put literally five thousand dollars into the thing to get it into good shape, and two weeks later they repossessed it. They repoed it guys.

She wasn't that smart, and I guess the tree that she fell off of wasn't either.

Yeah you might want to check the thermostat - if you need a new one make sure to test it in a pot of boiling water before you install it.

It was before I worked on my own cars. I was ~23 years old. The car had an exhaust leak start from the exhaust manifold area. Mechanics quoted me ~$500 for the repair. The car was a week late in getting finished, the mechanic had some sob story about how the car was much more of a problem than he thought it would be (the factory had double-gasketed ONE of the cylinders at the exhaust manifold) and charged me $1800. I paid with a check, just to get the car out of their possession, then stopped payment on the check. In hindsight, I should have just sent them a follow-up check for $500, but I didn't because I was young and found something in the law that says "if you don't get a written estimate, then the shop is liable for triple the amount of the bill."

I brought that up in court, the judge agreed with me, but said I had to bring that up in a separate action and, since I didn't counter-sue for that, he couldn't give it to me. So, he ordered me to pay the $500 and I sold that fragile piece of poo poo.

Was it a fun car to drive? How was the power and handling?
