Guess this is a good spot to keep a record of my return to Turbo Mopars.
Picked up this beauty about a month ago.
The guy who owned it before the guy I got it from kept meticulous records, including a Jasper engine and complete re-spray to the tune of over $5,000 back in 2002ish
The guy who I picked it up from, was a lying sack of honda excrement about it's condition. I was told that everything worked fine except for a minor fuel issue, but he assured me the pump tested fine.
Drove 16 hours round trip with a tow-dolly to get it home, and everything went down hill from there.
Rear window regulator toast
Convertible top motor toast
2 button NAV toast
Power Antenna toast
Fuel pump toast
Fuel tank toast
Fuel filler neck cut in half
and I'm sure I'll find more issues as I continue fixing stuff.
So fast forward to today:
New goodies have been stocking up waiting for me to get a chance to start working on it.
Fuel tank
Fuel pump
Fuel tank straps
Boost Gauge
Cap/Rotor/Wires
Plugs
1g DSM BOV
Found the fuel tank online for $63 shipped, saved myself over $10 from the local junkyard
Got the old tank out, what a mess.
New tank looks outstanding, decided to hit it with a coat of rubberized undercoating, since the old tank looked as it did.
Just need to figure out how to get the Walbro onto the hangar assembly, and I'll be able to finish putting it all back together.
