I finally got a hold of the owner of the Chevette across the road from me and it is indeed a diesel. It turns out it broke it's flex plate a while back and he had it welded, but really wanted a replacement. He said a new one was $600 and wasn't paying that for it. I wondered if it was seized... he said not likely, as it is a diesel (?? whatever). The transmission is out of it right now and the motor is unhooked as he was going to take the two out together. I asked him when he did that, he says.... "ummmmm...it was about 3 years ago...". Oh brother. Does he want to sell it? NO. He might fix it some day, but if he does decide to, he'll get a hold of me. Yep. Right after it's seized and rusted down to the roof. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Hey! This guy sounds familiar !
I'm told he has lots of various scrapped vehicles. I WOULD hate to ruin his collection.
Sorry. Didn't mean to rant. But I bet there was several guys that nodded in agreement. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, I have the turbo project to look forward to, when spring rolls around...
