No before pictures, but imagine a 95k mile, mint condition stock bodied 89 hardtop.

Then, 90km/h + slush on the road + a light post followed by a drainage gully, and you get this:

I sold it to a local guy and as far as I know, it stayed around Edmonton.

A guy in Calgary did try scam it from me, and later threatened to sue me when I told him to piss off though...

Ill play along.

^Fire Damage

^ Threw Rod #5 but got 2 holes...weird huh?

^Said Rod #5 on right #6 on left.

^2nd 7m, bad machining + RPS 3200PP = thrust washer in your oil pan without loosening any bolts

Low oil = almost no oil pressure + racing = BAD

Jacked up crankshaft, pieces of the bearings STUCK. It was also bent 1/4"

FUCKED UP ROD

The money shot. 2 bearings + 1 rod + a lot of heat = ALL ONE PIECE. Notice the color change on the rod. Shit must have been fuggin hot.

I still have that rod somewhere, its a conversation piece. Let this be a lesson to all you newbs out there, check your oil EVERYDAY.
