The blue lights behind you
Its a 1999 with 67,000 miles on it. The motor went south and the doctor at my work didn't want to mess with it, so 3.0 here I come.
The motor going in is a 2004 3.0 with 11,000 miles on it, it will be here on sat!

Wow, thats amazing!!

Good find, hope it goes well for you, keep us updated with the build. Make a picture journal.
 
Thats a deal 500 bucks..Anything else wrong with it besides the motor?.I payed 1700 for mine with a blown motor..Good luck with the build..
 
The photos have already started. I have over 100 photos up to this point alone. I want to compile everything into some what of a guide so people dont have to spend the hours seaching CEG like i did.

The only other thing wrong with the car is the dash is warped BAD!! Dont think I can fix it, its hitting the windshild and pulling up around the gauges.
The seats are dirty but dont have a mark on them and very little ware.

It has lived in a garage all its life. The body has no dents on it and the scraches can be buffed out except for some small ones on the bottom of the front bumper, but nothing a Mirko cant cover :laugh: . The door ding gaurds are comming apart and are faded, but the paint under them isnt faded so the will be comming off.

Dont know if it will be worth it for you. Im still not sure what wnt wrong with it there were chunks of alum in the oil pan, and not sure of were they came from. I have it striped to the long block, and am planing to pull the crank tomorrow night to see if i can find out what happen.

If its not bad I will be more then happy to try to work something out with you, but Im going to need most everything otherthen the bare long block.

Kremithefrog well see how fast I work, I plan on having it on the road in less then a week after the motor gets here.

wow i guess that goes to show that regardless of how much you take care of the dash or try to keep it covered, it can still warp out :blackeye:

Wow nice, the dash swap isn't too hard. I'd say if you work hard at it it would take about a day to do.

Congrates on the deal and best of luck on the rebuild.
