$250 = 94 purple lx foe doe with a blown headgasket + motor road trip pics

[Melt]

so i picked this car up for $250, and im going to drop another dx motor into it, like the title says its got a blown headgasket and possibly a warped head. The car itsself has 223k on it. I picked up another 94 d15b7 with 160k on it and a new headgasket and timing belt for $300 so im pretty much set, will probably start working on the car sometime in june, not much time right now.

Heres the other thread with the story of me driving the car home and it breaking down on the way lol

on with the pics

yes it blew out a quart in the 5 miles to my house, put the cardboard under there so not too much hits the street

gassing up my integra before i left to go get the motor, heard gas was gonna go up and it went to 3.17 tonight. Notice my "old school" touch on the back? I think they look good, havent been pulled over yet i put that reflective tape on my trailer hitch and got the right color bulbs in em

borrowed my friends 92 geo metro with no back interior that he got for $400 soley to deliver newspapers, he said he dont care if i spill oil or coolant in the car lol so its all good, plus it got 38.3 mpg to san jose and back with me gassing the hell out of it (my friend normally gets close to 50 lmao)

hole in the passenger side floorboard so i can pour the rest of my beer out discreetly :lol:

it's a metro. i think taking it past 75 or even uphill qualifies as "beating the shit out of it.." lol
p.s. tell your friend i saw the pictures....doesn't look like there's much shit left to beat... i'm just playing
