So this friday at work, a customer approached me and asked if I knew anyone looking for a project car. Of course I said that I was. He told me he just wanted it out of his garage.
So today I took the tow dolly to his house to check it out. It is a, don't judge me, 1991 Plymouth Laser RS. The part that won me over was "free" and "has title"
Its in pretty decent shape, for a laser. It has the 2.0 non turbo. The motor in it was seized, but it came with a good replacement.
I've never messed with any of these kind of cars, and I never wanted to be one of those "eclipse/talon/laser kids"
I am just a little excited for a new challenge, and thought I would let you all know.

Wish me luck...please!

 

The hood is on it now and makes it look much better

 

 

Good find! Now you just need BOOST.

~Cheers~

 

hope you don't sell your Tl and just keep the Plymouth

 

No way am I selling the TL to keep a laser.

 

Good luck with the project!

 

Have fun

Nothing quite like free

 

If all else fails, there's a scrap yard right down the road. Haha

 

you can't beat free!!!

 

I started to clean it today, and it looks promising. I need to chip away all the old clear coat.

 

Can't beat FREE!

 

great pick up for free

 

Engine is out! Only took two hours. Go me! Lol

 

 

Looks in good condition and for the price of free, can't beat that and it came with parts. Thats even better. Progress looks good so far. Good luck with the project.

I had a '93 Honda Civic hatch which I bought 4 years ago for $1k. Put like 40k miles on it and then blew head gasket. Pulled in apart in garage, fixed in a week (my first "big" job). Sold it for $1300.

 

Update
The motor the guy had bought for it was bad. Don't trust the junk yards... it had skipped three teeth in the timing belt, and bent ALL the intake valves. Now, after two weeks, the head has new intake valves, and its finally back in the car. We had a chance to crank it, but there is no spark. On to the next mission! All in good time. This stupid car WILL run. And I WILL sell it!

 

Now thats the spirit!

 

The Bitch runs! The main relay was bad. Sounds like honda... started on the first cycle on gas from 2002. Big smiles.

 

 

 

damn good job

 

Thanks! Now if someone would just buy it!

 

good job on the car it looks good

 

Well done!

 

Sold! $1400

 

Next up will be a twin-turbo volvo diesel in a ford fairmont. *classy*

 

That was quick sale.

Post pics up when you get the next project car.

 

woah man ur not really gunna sell the TL are you ?
