Re: Dear twack and albert lea mike and all primo members please post!

Ok so I bought the car and checked everything out, and test drove it. Nothing seemed to be wrong visually. All I was told was that it needed a new temp sensor. After driving this car 30 miles home, I discovered that I need a new clutch (read the story on the link I posted about that one!) I need a new tranny, bolts where missing from the back side of the exhaust manifold causing a big boost leak the turbo had a bad shaft play and leaked a ton of oil. I had a bad starter. All the sensors in my car needed to be rewired (not a single one was in contact) needed a new radiator, ideler switch was gone, knock sensor was gone, broken studs into the exhaust manifold, missing several bolts off the tranny and transfer case. Ripped boots on both front side axles. Valve cover crack. Fuel injector leaking (needed new seals) More to come...
