Project Resurgence: Black Dragon
As most of you know, earlier this year I was involved in an accident with my 2001 Galant. The accident left my car in horrible shape, and I swore it would never drive again.
So I decided on a project.
I bought a car for $200. The engine was shot but all the other parts were there. So I decided a little work was needed.
Yes, thats the same car that was involved in the accident. I fixed it.
The Black Dragon is back bitches! See you at the Cookout!

Re: Project Resurgence: Black Dragon
Leave the DD reliable I say. Doesn't the hyundai thing have an even weaker version of the 4b11? like open deck version?

Re: Project Resurgence: Black Dragon
For those who asked, I had to replace the fender, part of the core support, all A/C lines, power steering lines, coolant tank, radiator, grill, headlights (I hate electrical work!!!), and a bunch of other random crap.
The car is back on the road and ready for the winter. No other plans at this point. 
The Hyundai got some parts delivered this week. Nothing major. Just the usual rice parts and a new intake.
