The past week sucked...
« on: March 20, 2007 - 08:34:15 PM »
...because I was without my Barracuda, due to it being in a shop, having the engine gone through.  But now, she's finally back, and running better than ever!

Before:









drumroll, please....

All the seals were replaced, the engine was cleaned out, oil and filter, just basic stuff.

Oh, and the heater solenoid on the passenger side was stuck, so that was fixed.  Engine runs MUCH better now, better than when I bought it.

Ghost, I feel your pain.  I took the 340 out of my Cuda 3 weeks ago to get the motor redone and I still have about another 4 weeks to go before I get the motor back.  :villagers:

New tires are planned, along with new wheels (steelies and dog dishes), and true dual exhaust.  But first, I need a new battery.  My current one is too weak.
