Maybe give then names so it's easer to tell which one you're talking about. Tangerine is the 88 correct?


1 84 (waiting on name since apparently Casper isn't a good one) my 87 res and Grey gt called Prarie queen (since it was full of dead field mice and I get covered in grass evertime I work on it) and the Tangerine machine.
but yeah the Tangerine cracked its cooling pipe on the drivers side while sitting

the Tangerine No longer has a cracked cooling pipe and got some stuff done finally. the decklid lock also broke so I had to drill it out so that's great. one step forward and 2 back just like always.
finally getting more stuff fixed and figured out needless to say this car was a complete mess when we got it and it's finally getting better. the entire engine harness got repaired and it no longer overheats just sitting there for 15 minutes (replaced the gauge with a 84 gauge as well since I got an aftermarket one and didn't know if I could run it in the rear cylinderhead that's against the firewall and didn't trust the stock one)
yes the last picture is of me doing bodywork since the lock hole got messed up and was a little messed up before. base layer of short strand and it's gonna get upol gold over it and blended out to fit a 1/2 extension back (just about the same size as the lock)

I think I finally got it. didn't overheat after a spirited drive that was an hour long and runs ok? still low on power and the check engine light is on (haven't checked why yet) was starting better with the new ecu when cold but now starts like garbage after being driven so I'm not 100% sure what's going on with that
