So I picked up this Levin coupe from a friend of mine recently. I originally wasn't interested but after receiving a ridiculous low ball from a so called "serious buyer", I caught some interest in the car. With him wanting a set of Work Eurolines Limited Edition I acquired from a local friend, we worked out a trade.
Sadly the car is/was in really harsh condition. With the interior almost being unhabitable and engine not passing smog due to a check engine light and a massive exhaust leak.
At first with not knowing the cause of the check engine light and the origin of the exhaust leak, I have to say I was quite frighten to drive the car home(a little over 35mi.). But luckily I made it home with zero problems.
Sure enough I quickly investigated the souce of the problems. But somewhere along the way of doing so, I decided to remove the cruise control set up. Which lead to removing the A/C compressor and power steering pump, since I do plan on swapping in a AW11 rack set up I have laying around in my garage.
After doing all the unnecessary, I found one of the souces of the check engine light. Which was a Code 6, and 12 when I initially checked it. I'm assuming the belt might have ate it but I had an extra harness that was laying around so I found a similar connection and replaced it.
Then found this sketchy knock sensor cable fix which I also replaced.
After a quick flick of the wrist, no more codes.
So I got bored and decided to play dress up with it and put some nice from shoes I picked up recently.
On of the other flaws was a nice size dent on the driver fender which you might be able to see on the first picture, which was also fixed prior to installing the wheels.
And there you have it. My new Bobsled for this summer.
Unfortunately with a new great job opportunity and also my dream job poping up(which I will most likely will be making a post of soon) I won't have as much time to work on the car or my current "track"/"grip" car build(which I'll also will be posting and updating in soon.), but I can guarantee some serious work being put in to the engine thanks to this new job opportunity.
Cheers,
