need driver rear side window + moldings
rear window moldings
windshield - both wipers
antilock light is on - still havent figured out why... 
check engine light is on - did diag - code 52
coolant is coming out of the over-flow spew.. so from what i read on the forums im guessing a BHG 
needs new rims and tires. [ current rims are bent up - front rims are bent up i know the rear driverside rim is grinded all over the edge - not sure if i should keep them or replace them - what you guys think? ]
as far as the tires. the tires are in pretty good condition except for the rear passengerside is going bald.. 
stock spoiler on passenger side the fiberglass thats supposed to be attatched to the trunk is broken
figure out why the rear wiper isnt working - replace the rear-wiper
figure out why the rear window washer spray isnt going
i think i have a power steering leak
so far for now i that i know needs to be worked on.. |
Sounds like a project. Depending on your time and money...
Best would be a full top-end (at least) rebuild to include a metal head gasket and ARP bolts torqued to the ARP values. If you rebuild the top replace all belts and hoses while you're at it. When the head is off,
REPLACE THE EGR GASKET AFTER GRINDING BOTH SURFACES TRUE. So start with the engine and finish with paint, wheels and tires.
If money and time ARE a concern (like with most of us) I would figure out the overheating first. If you're not sure, take it to a mechanic. DON'T suggest BHG to him because he will just agree for the money. It may be radiator, heater plug, or a few other things. Once you get the overheating under control you can tinker with whatever you like in whatever order. I always say fix mechanical first, cosmetic last. BUT...tires are important and you can get a pretty nice set of wheels and tires from Tire Rack online for a good price...just to get you by until you're ready for the track. Don't go bigger than 17" until you know what you're doing.
