Thinking about buying a parts truck. I'm think most of the motor would still be good. Thoughts[img][IMG]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x375/jlgail4309/th_G589RH.jpg[/img][/img]


$5500.00 asking 45000. miles

Fuel heater fire. Look at how all the melty stuff is worse in the middle where there wasn't enough heat to actually liquify all the plastic, but over by the fuel head, there isn't ANY plastic visible.

Can I get the airbox lid if you get it?

Honestly, I don't know that I would jump in on that, but it could be that only the soft parts and the stuff on the driver's side got killed... You might even be able to rebuild it by replacing the wiring with the harness I have for sale (hint hint) and a new alternator. Most of the rest of the parts are all metal and could be OK.

Seems like a lot of $s for a relatively dead vehicle but it's probably repairable and like geordi says the hard parts like the engine are probably fine.
