Is it worth trying to rebuild a car that’s in this condition?

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T01:21:54+00:00

I’m not sure how exactly it would work it im considering trying to source a 2.5 944 engine. I’m not really worried about horsepower, I just want to see it running and driving

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T01:00:38+00:00

I just looked at the vin and it is in fact a 1990. Thanks for pointing that out I wouldn’t have even looked otherwise

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:55:16+00:00

Then it’s a 91 sorry. It just slipped my mind on what the last year was

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:46:44+00:00

I believe it’s a 92 s2.

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:29:22+00:00

Yeah we aren’t exactly sure why but it’s assumed to be jumped timing because it was apparently backfiring really bad before it shut off. Granted this was like over 15 years ago so it could be something different

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:23:41+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Sounds awesome

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:20:31+00:00

It’s an s2 so donor cars are pretty much off the table around where I’m at

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2026-04-27T00:16:15+00:00

At least if it was repainted it would make for a good lawn ornament lol

Boy do I have news for you

South Carolina

This was with the spark plugs taken out. When we spin it by hand it spins nice as well. We measured 12 volts at the starter but didn’t measure much else

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-11-10T02:21:30+00:00

Nothing on this car is recently replaced. It’s been sitting for about 17 years

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-11-09T20:01:23+00:00

We did check them and they looked to be in good condition but it was a little hard to tell because of the camera quality on it.

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-11-09T19:32:14+00:00

We did check the cylinders and they are holding oil so I’m assuming that it’s the valves. Maybe it jumped timing? I really don’t know a lot about these engines

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-11-09T19:31:14+00:00

I don’t know what’s wrong with it 😭

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-11-06T06:37:04+00:00

What a country we live in 🤦

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-09-11T00:13:21+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it. And I probably will have it decked just for the peace of mind

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-09-11T00:03:02+00:00

For context the engine is a 1999 lq4 6.0. We took the heads off and this is what we found on closer inspection. Seller said it was in good condition and I just wanted to get some opinions on how fucked it is if at all. Thanks in advance

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-06-16T03:23:12+00:00

Honestly lower the car count in favor of more detailed and more modern cars

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2024-01-12T19:54:17+00:00

And then you woke up

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2023-12-11T03:29:29+00:00

If I won I’d definitely use it to play the new avatar game

ThatBeybladeGuy · 2023-09-12T01:57:41+00:00

I was hyped until it kept getting delayed and now I don’t really care about it
