So yesterday I decided to go to the junkyard where this 90' 240 was. I asked them to pick the car up and there was no chasis rust at all. I was very surprised to see that. I had them turn on the car and the engine ran fine but had almost like a valve lash type sound. I was told that it could be a head gasket and/or a warped head, I don't know and I dont care the SR20 is going in asap. So, after negotiating and trying to understand bits of broken english. I got the price down from 600. to 500. I agreed to the deal I mean I'm not concerned with the engine but with the body and the interior. And man is it beautiful.

I found out that some person of indian decent owned the car and donated it to purple heart for a tax write off. I guess that it was a good deal,The interior is in perfect condition. It has a dent on the rear driver's fender and the driver's front fender is missing. Other than that, some bondo, sanding and paint and this thing will look awesome. The car has a red paint job with black interior. I'm going to paint it black and put some Brides in or something like that.

So it ran, it shot almost like a extremly lean smelling smoke, and it's awesome. I had it towed for like fifty bucks to this shop (40+ miles away) and the tow driver couldn't put the car in a parking spot. So, thinking that since the engine ran and I drove it around for a minute that I could at least back it in to a parking spot.

Well, the car didn't start and when I jumped I let it set for 30+ minutes. Then I tried to move it and when I put the car in reverse it would just stall. It was wierd. it was almost like I was putting the car in 5th gear and just dropping the clutch. We had to wait to push the car into the parking spot because it was just my girlfriend and I.

So we finally got it into the parking spot and I couldn't figure out why the damn key was not comming out of the ignition?? Im confused, I'll post pictures and try to keep a log book of whats going on with everything.
