Default I bought it back! My White 96 :)

Yes, the white 96 in my sig that I did all that work to. The one that caused me so much frustration in the past... The one that has at least a quart of my blood.

So, I had sold it back to the original owner after I did all that work, and he's driven it since. I've been telling him to do the HG's etc and well, the time has finally come. The truck got towed back to my house, antifreeze POURING out of the rear. Plus a few other issues, someone has stripped and lost the oil pan bolt (now only has a dripping plastic plug) And the power steering has a healthy leak...

Just ordered the HG/bolts kit and if it comes in by saturday I plan on having that part done. I also have a replacement oil pan (off my 95) and I believe good power steering off the 95 also, but have to look.

One of the other thinks I want to address is the drone it has inside since putting in the headers and custom exhaust.

Pictures eventually.

I think it's the other way around.

Back when this all started, I gave 1000 bucks for the truck. Mainly because the interior was so nice in it. (It had sheepskins on the seats since the day it was bought new) So my offer was the same 1000 for it now that it needed to have the HG etc done. The parts should be in the 17th and the 20th according to Amazon, so it looks like next weekend before I'll be able to do the work.

Really, with everything I did to the truck the first time, I can't really go to wrong with it. At least I know it inside and out.
