Thread: Jenny's heart may beat again..

So i've been very busy cannibalizing suspension and interior bits off this formerly gorgeous SE-R



While working on getting the passenger LCA off (the nut on the ball joint needed a fully charged impact) the crank pulley was staring me straight in the face the whole time. Finally grabbed a socket, couple of extentions and the breaker bar to see what was what.

It turned easily, with compression neatly popping each plug wire left in as covers. It's been years, but i remember her being super clean under the valve cover too. Cant remember if the clock stopped just before 100k or past, still....
Once i get the two GAs sorted out, this barely broken in SR needs to find a home. Maybe even get a little snail as a pet.

Yup, very, very clean.

Just hitting her stride.

Many of you don't know the unicorn this car was.
Stupid clean 90k all original SER found at a VW dealership in 2003(?). Noticed it online a day after it was posted, took a drive and said ..... 'be in touch'.
Waited a couple of days then dropped cash deal, don't bother fixing the radio or replacing the salad of bald tires, 1/2 sticker.
Got it for a little more, 2/3 'internet only' price. $2500

Again, Chicago metro car all it's life and yet conspicuously free of corrosion. The only clue to be found was about a pound of sand under the back seat. *shrugs*
Needed nothing, save tires (opportunity to upgrade). Drove the hell out of it for barely 2 years, garaging it when the snow was flying.
Was taking it to work one last time before putting it away just before Thanksgiving and some multitasking soccer mom didn't notice traffic had come to a full stop.
40mph, didn't even touch the brakes.

These are the 1st pictures ever of the carnage.

Fitting sticker... shame that happened to such a nice car.
