Flashback to 2001. I ran across GLHS #0469 in a used car lot in Valparaiso, IN. It was shiny and someone had swapped in a common block 2.2L (one-piece intake) at some point. So I bought it.
On the way home to Chicago the engine seized up and there was a small engine fire. One rebuilt motor later it was back on the road. And it promptly cracked a piston. (Hypereutectic pistons be damned... oops.) It sat for a while since I was in college and didn't have much time to work on it. So I traded it to Moparboyy for a running 1992 Daytona Iroc R/T. It seemed fair at the time until I had to watch updates on turbododge.com about it being cut and hacked and gutted, etc. Around 2006, after Moparboyy gave up on the 2.4L swap, I offered him $250 for the gutted shell. He refused. It sat at his dad's place for 5 years rotting away, including a massive flood on the property. Good thing it was just a metal shell.
Flashforward to 2011. Moparboyy finally let go of the shell to local SDAC CL member Tommy. Tommy offered the car to me, knowing it was my old GLHS. I couldn't pass it up for $250, and now feel compelled to bring it back to life after previously being responsible for trading it away to an awful life.
