Nice... You gonna start a ST collection next?

wvcat 07-05-2010 07:53 PM

No its hard to find good deals on ST's I got this one for my daughter.

Downey 07-05-2010 08:02 PM

damn i want one bad

Trigger01 07-05-2010 08:08 PM

Awesome, looks like it's in good condition. how many miles on it? Have you thought about just buying a dolly instead of renting them all the time? It would pay for itself pretty quickly.

cchsbuzz19 07-05-2010 08:22 PM

Is this the one from Uniontown? Looks pretty clean!

Lord Of War 07-05-2010 08:39 PM

Looks nice.

What you you anticipate the cost being to fix it?

atrocity 07-05-2010 08:43 PM

looks nice but how do you feel about your daughter driving a bigger truck than you?

Well its too soon to tell the guy said it needs a head or a motor but I haven't checked it out yet

lol I don't care. I have a bigger bed and she's happy so its a win win!

atrocity 07-05-2010 08:59 PM

i'd love to know how you told her you get her a new car. "hunny i got you a new car, but..."

wvcat 07-05-2010 09:20 PM

Well she wanted it. She knew it needed work when we went and looked at it but its also a big step up from her old Neon

INT3RC3PTOR 07-05-2010 09:37 PM

vista4.0 07-06-2010 06:56 AM

wvcat 07-06-2010 08:26 AM

I like em both!

wvcat 07-30-2010 09:14 PM

Just a little update....I got her purin like a kitten. The drivers side cam had jumped time because there was no oil in it...Let me explain... When I got it the plugs were out and the ds valve cover was off. The first thing I did was put it back together to see what the deal was. Well it was atleast 3 quarts low on oil(I checked it before I even tried to start it) It ran but had no power. This is my first SOHC motor so I did some online research. From what I read online I suspected the primary timing chain had jumped so I took the front of the motor apart and it was in time and the guides were good. After some head scratching and comparing online photos I figued the cam was out on the ds. I set it on TDC and reset the cam and it runs great now... For those not familiar with the SOHC timing chains, they use a tensioner that is pressurized by oil pressure, without oil pressure it can't keep the chain tight. But I have been dealing with a title issue and I have not messed with it much. I finally got the title today! I should have it on the road monday...
