Another J30t in my carport

[gr8scott72]

I haven't posted on here in a while because my 93 J30t finally died. It appears that the motor jumped timed and busted up valves on at least 2 cylinders.

I came across another one a few weeks ago and decided to buy it. It's a 94 J30t pearl white with 181k miles on it that I paid a wooping $1000 for. The timing belt was replaced last year along with the drive belts. The tires are good and the windshield is good. Leather is in great shape, in fact, the lower portion of the two front seats have new leather on them along with the 2 front doors. Matches the old leather great.

It already had an aftermarket stereo in it which doesn't matter to me as I'm going to put all the stereo stuff I had in my 93 in the 94. (Head unit, EQ, amp, 4 speakers, 10" bazooka tube.)

Here's the things that are/were wrong with it:The right rear strut was blown and rattled and made the car drive funny over big bumps.The right rear wheel was bent and wasn't hold air over 15 psi.The alignment is off and it needed tie rods before they could align it.The a/c didn't work (It was very cold when I bought it and I couldn't tell)The heat takes a long time to get warm.The sunroof doesn't work. I think they just unplugged the motor.

Here's what I've already done to it, fixed, or swapped from the 93:I've already swapped the rear struts from my 93.Had someone swap the tie rod.Swapped one wheel to replace bent one.Spent all day Saturday, 2 weeks ago detailing it, buffing, wax, clean wheels/tires, clean leather, etc.Bled brakes with new fluid. (Pads are almost brand new.)Changed oilChanged spark plugs.Found out why a/c wasn't working. The tensioner pulley was siezed up and they had just taken the belt off.Swapped tensioner pulley and now a/c works.Swapped both headlights as the ones on my 93 didn't have any chips or cracks.Swapped one hood lift strut. (I had just put a new one on the 93 not too long ago.)Drained transmission fluid and put on a new filter and gasket.

Here's what I still have to do to it:Get the thermostat replaced so I have more heat. (It's not too bad here in Mississippi)Flush rear dif fluid.Flush radiator.Install amp, sub, and all wiring.

That's about it. I know this is long but it feels good telling people that actually care and not just the wife. lol

I'll get some pictures the next time I wash it off as it is already dirty.
