Hey everyone its been a long time. thought id let you know whats new and what Ive been up to in the car world.
Ive sort of become a car scraper I look for cheap old cars salvage parts off them and send them to the junkyard.
As you know when i left here i had the 97 Geo metro and 91 accord
Well I bought a 92 accord sedan and sold the geo ( remember i got the geo for $300? i put about $200 in to it fixing the dizzy and new waterpump and timing belt. sold it for $1100!)

heres the 92 when i bought it

she blew the engine up..

RIP Accord http://youtu.be/TUaAdk3hghc

Now the 95 Civic EX with a y7/z6 mini me...i paid $1700 for it.. 23 hours later the engine blew. the knock i thought was an exhaust manifold gasket was a rod bearing and it spun...Did a d15b vtec swap...til i went to change the water pump. someone had jb welded the crank pully bolt in YAY. so pulled that engine out got a D15B non vtec (d15b2 basically) lasted a good 15K miles. then started burning to much oil...got a 228K D15b7. put that in. now it has 268K on it and still running . had to change the head gasket a couple months ago. change the trans. clutch. new struts etc almost everything on this car has been replaced.
when i got it

like that sentra. i got it for $300. i took the new tiers off and put some steelies i had on it with tiers that had wires sticking out the sides on it. Took the new battery out and stuck an old dead one in it. and it had 4 new pioneer speakers, a brand new sony deck, and nice 400 watt amp under the seat!!! then i sold it for $450 to the junkyard. so i made $150, + got tiers/rims, a complete sound system , and a new interstate battery
