It's a '99 Solara SE 4cyl. It has a seized engine. I picked it up about a week ago.
    now the minor problems: engine   just plastic bumper damage.  there is water in the spare tire well. not a big deal but I do need to find out where it's coming from.  the mirror I don't really care about  I'm not sure what's wrong with the alignment of the rear bumper/tail light  Things I've already fixed: the grille and headlights: Before:    After:     -------------------- |

I believe the girl was driving on the highway when it happened, high RPMs and broken connecting rod = carnage. Two of the valves were bent as well, you could see the marks on the top of the piston where they hit. Some metal filings made it all the way to the underside of the valve cover.
The first thing Dustin asked me was if I put all that crap in the oil pan, my answer was no, just pulled the oil pan off and that's what was laying in it. This post has been edited by hurley97: Aug 1, 2008 - 11:26 AM -------------------- |
