Ok, SO the storys the same for most people who start out with these cars "bought with a blown Head gasket!" woohoo...
Its been about a year since I had the car replaced the gaskets timmed the engine all those fancy things, done by myself by going off the FSM..

Got it running! but It would only run for about 15 sec than die,. couldnt figure out why so I checked the oil once again and there was A HUGE amount of water in it,, again.. I am talking everything from the fucking rad was in the oil pan... No to mention the metal chunks everyware in the pan. from a timming tensioner I assume./

SO I suspected hole or crack in the block.. Took the engine out and dissasembled the whole thing! Mean wile the engine had amazing numbers 180 PSI on all 4. (internals up for sale.)

Couldnt find a hole or crack so i just said fuck it I will buy a Ka off someone that is running, In the mean time I am doing body/ interior work. THis is my first s chassis and really anything that ive worked on. And I am damn sure learning alot. I am located in Hernando co. so Parts seem hard to find cant find a ka for the life of me.
So I took the carpet out to find such a huge rust hole.. Lol ill let the pics do the talking..

Enough about the car back round on me. I have been into avation since i was a toddler, going up in planes, Working on them with my dad that was my life So my mechanical backround is pretty decent! I used to port and polish R/C helicopter engines. so I got into cars!
Now the pics will flow ...
