Default The project that never ends...

Just venting my frustrations....

So I'm thinking when I bought this that it would just need a tune and call it a day. New windshield in, lots of cleaning and I'm good to go, right? Not so much. I'm not mad at Felipe at all cause he was honest and is a good guy, but maybe I expected too much when I picked it up.

Oil leaks galore coming from what appears to be EVERY possible place it could come from. Coolant also leaking from not just the hoses but t-stat housing. Power steering is gushing all over the place to where I just decided to cut it out and deal with no PS until I get the more important things fixed. IAC needs to be replaced since it dies if the throttle isn't left on. The hose couplings are loose and need to be checked and re-done properly with proper clamps because it came apart while driving. The starter took a shit, so that has been replaced.

I need a tune, badly. I'd love to drop it off at a shop and just pick it up when it's ready and driving the way it should, but I'm VERY sure it will cost me a ton of money to do so.

The car has great potential...I just didn't expect to put so much into it. So, if anyone needs a web designer or software engineer so that I can start making this car run right, let a brother know.
