She sucked up water, hydrolocked it, it was still pouring when it happened, so i left it and walked to a buddys house. 3 hours later i went back and whipped out all the plugs and let the quart of water drain out. took a few tries, but she fired up eventually and now runs t*ts. i changed the oil, no water in the crankcase, but water did get in the cab, and is now making my carpet smell like sh*t. guess ill need a new carpet and jute kit...or maybe ill just dynamat it....oh the possibilities.

Changed the wheels cuz these had way more tread than my bfgs. also put some air in the shocks to kick the *ss up a tad. now she has less of a lowrider thing going on.

Man, that blows. My buddy's Civic sucked up water like that one day and now there's a fist-sized hole in his block and part of the crank is missing.. And I know what it's like to have shitty smelling carpet, too!
Gotta say though, your car's lookin' good!
