They give you scrap price. You could easily sell it for more than $400 still

Haha! Maybe a little bit. The spraying I think was because I didn't seat the gasket on correctly, and then drove around. It appeared to have "sprayed" because the engine was covered in oil, but perhaps I exaggerated a bit [image: :)]. Got a new radiator fan, radiator mount (holy shit only $39 on ebay w/ free shipping), and the cap & bleed screw for my expansion tank. Waiting on the gasket to get here and then we'll see how it all goes! I'm hoping the engine was shaking because of the now-asymmetrical radiator fan... hence the new one I ordered.

Id repair what it needs to be roadable and drive it for you [image: :)] Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. Earl, I'm going to post some more pics tonight to show the damage to that fender mount area. Also the piece of metal that wraps over where the strut bolts in and comes down to the front of the wheel well is pretty messed up in the corner. I don't think it affected the tire or suspension, but that may also be something that can't easily be repaired. When I post them, if you could give me a best guess that'd be great [image: :D]

umm, yes... exactly what i was going to say. Like the prostitute says: 'It's not the work. It's the stairs.'

Idle should be about 650 when warmed up I think.  Because of all of the issues I would unhook the battery and short the cables together to clear the ECU.  It adapts to/remembers things.  When I swapped a light flywheel into a late e36 it idled like crap when first started, surging and hunting.  Then we cleared the ecu and it ran perfect.  It just has to adapt to the new operating conditions.

My relative owns a body shop down on 38th and National called Platinum Collision Center. They do great work and could easily paint a door you find at a junk yard for a good price. I had them paint the gas tank on my Triumph Daytona and it turned out great!

reseat the hose and run 2 clamps with the adjusters staggered

Hey guys, newbie here. I shelled out the $$ for the clutch removal tool & big ass skinny spanner wrench to make replacing my cooling system easier (according to almost everybody). I'll be working on that this weekend. In the future if any of you are doing anything with your radiators and want to borrow them, just let know. I'd much rather you buy me a beer than spend the $65 for the tools [image: :)] Great to meet everyone!

The harshness you are feeling is from the suspension actually absorbing bumps instead of constantly bouncing down the road. Some of it also has to do with the stiffness. I don't believe you will get any softer. It is already max height in the rear and the front might look odd any higher. When the springs settle the ride should be a little less harsh (since the springs will be softened up) and the car will sit a half inch lower maximum. You're welcome for helping. It wasn't too bad at all besides that damn bolt. I was just happy to get you riding on some decent suspension that won't make you sea sick.
