    Figured it was time to make a thread on berta.


    For those i havent bothered with this car, i payed $450 for it in september, replaced front hubs and all the brakes, tie rod ends and the coolant ebows to get it on the road.

    Since then ive replaced the radiator water pump, hoses LIM head Gaskets had the heads resurfaced, added headers, a smaller pulley 1.8 Rockers, new head unit and JBL speakers.
    (Most of the cooling system was trying to figure out the coolant leak which was the Water pump). I have parts in a box, including an axle, spare hub and all new motor mounts. Goals moving forward are to shore up the suspension. with struts, Swaybars, trailing arms and tower braces, intercool, and replace the transmission with a TEP after it explodes.



    Shes UGLY and once the mechanics are sorted im going to get to work.














    That was her good side ......
