Just hit a turning point on my old cars and I'm at a loss. I sold off The 20 Footer and also listed The SuperChicken and it sold. The idea was to band-aid my truck, share Wifey's car since she is unemployed, and build Rhonda my A100. This morning I started the band-aiding in earnest and when the oil pan came off discovered that the motor is more shot than I realized. Those old FE motors are tough. Both head gaskets are leaking a bit, the intake seal is bad, every other seal has at least seepage, and now I find the timing chain is looser than a Belmont Ave. hooker. Shit! I always said if I rebuild this motor I would make it nice. But, I'm not ready to build it yet. I really wanna start on the A100. Agh!
I could still brush back my mullet and band-aid it.
Or do I bend over and spend the money to build it
So now I need to make a choice. Band-aid FE or fast FE.
use my la 360
