My poor Z.........

Well, after getting all the bugs ironed out, my car apparently decided it doesn't like being fixed. Timing belt let go earlier today. Brand new belt, brand new tensioner. Undoubtedly there is valve damage, so I think it's time this car was put to bed permanently. Since I bought the motorcycle, I don't have money for an engine, nor would I have any place to install it anyway. So all the good stuff is being removed, and the rest is going to whoever will come get it...... I've got my eye on an 84 turbo now. It's auto, but that can be remedied at some point, and it's super cheap at $400. Blown turbo, easily fixable. Swap mine in, and it'll have boost again. The 84 is in great shape, only 96,000 miles, that's pretty unheard of on this old a car. Might have other issues, but they can't possibly be worse than what I went through with the 85........
