The rockers jumping out is what happens when the valves get bent from piston contact. When these motors break or slip a TB,you'll find that.Check your timing marks before you do anything else.

I was there,but not in my car nor did I see this one.I did see a post from someone (on FB perhaps?) from someone at WCF who had a GVR4,and spotted another one on the road on his way home.

Damn dude,this sucks! Sorry to see this. Not much consolation at the moment,bit glad you didn't get hurt,this could have really sucked..I know your pain,years ago I had a truck full of junk passing the opposite direction lose some sidewalk pavers as it passed.One smashed my front...

Sorry to see this man...I'm speachless.

(I'm not sure how I missed your response,but I appreciate it!)

Awesome,thanks!

I'm looking for (8) of the white clips that attach the roof trim strips to the body.

50 hp isn't a problem at all. My car ran 12.90s at 105 with a super simple old school setup. "3 exhaust,ported 14b and 2g exhaust manifold,DP,"2 1/4 IC pipes with a Star quest (not ideal anymore),TT RX7 fuel pump,stock 1g MAF pipe,Grainger valve boost controller,stock MAF,450s etc etc. I think...

This is getting pretty heavy duty,but a last resort we use something like this at the restoration shop I work at, I have made several pieces of 50 year old VW skylight glass useable that had some really acid rain/lime (whatever it is) haze that a razor blade wouldn't budge. It won't perform a...

Looks good for the price,$860 is DIRT CHEAP.I work in a restoration shop,that amount doesn't go far toward matterials much less labor and all. 4 gallons of polyester primer for the main shell of my personal VW was almost $600 alone. (They aren't using that on a project like this,but gives...

There is a older lady that comes into the shop where I work that owns a really nice low mileage garage kept one of these,even white like this one. I've worked on it a few times over the years. Neat car,I remember seeing them back in the day,but never anymore.

Neat! If that's all original paint you wouldn't want to repaint it. Original paint patina is where it's at now,fix the rust,blend the paint,and rock it.

Nice! If you tried that here,the cops would show up before the second race!

Right on,Nice! I was there this weekend too,but drove a lowered VW bus. Missed your car,didn't see any GVR4s,or anything else Mitsubishi other than a couple Starquests, a few 2gs and tons of EVOs.

If that's the the only bad spots,and the rest of the car is really nice,I wouldn't scrap the car because of that.That would be a great place to learn sheetmetal repair panel fab and welding skills. The saving grace is that its under cladding so if you do a nice job but not %100 concours...
