91 200 20vt 870CC, Holset, VEMS, SHES ALIVE....AGAIN!

[SC_09iduA]

That is incredibly sad...

[death 4kqt]

holy shit dude, project nightmare. Condolences.

[elaw]

Condolences indeed! :(

Although it looks awful, it seems to me most of the damage is to wiring? You might want to see if someone wants to buy it as-is to repair rather than parting it out.

[bdog]

poor bastard. i think we're the last two guys registered with Maine plates on our 200 20v's.

[TimS6avant]

So so sorry! That must be an awful feeling!

[pilihp2]

Shit man. That's awful. I'm so sorry.

[iammrfancypants]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm almost tempted to get a 3b harness and see where I stand. But all my vems leads would need to replaced along with ls2 coils and harness and I just think it'll be too much and I'd rather part it.

But anyway here's something I typed up on my iPhone. No prices just gauging interest now.

Everything that is aftermarket has 0 miles on it and is brand new sans the turbo setup. Fire damage is limited to the firewall, engine wiring harness and misc small other pieces.

And obvious the rest of the chassis. Car has black comfort interior. I really would like to sell it all together but will sell pieces off it. I will sell the chassis for very cheap to move it.

I also have an extra stripped 3b block and complete 3b head.

[WOMBAT]

Oh hell no.... :( I'm so sorry man

[TimS6avant]

Well...I would be Interested in fuel pump & wiring kit, 7A cams, and possibly mani, turbo, and downpipe.... shoot me a pm at your leisure. Sorry again man. That is zero funs.

[Marc]

well, now I know why you didn't stop by for the parts. damn!!!! sorry man, that blows!

[jackason22]

Rob, that really blows...very sorry to hear!

[a-talk]

Wow, sorry to hear it. Hopefully someone is up to bringing this car back, it's a nice start.

[iammrfancypants]

well, now I know why you didn't stop by for the parts. damn!!!! sorry man, that blows!

Yeahhhh sorry for not calling. Imma try to come by tomorrow again.

[iammrfancypants]

Condolences indeed! :(

Although it looks awful, it seems to me most of the damage is to wiring? You might want to see if someone wants to buy it as-is to repair rather than parting it out.

Most is wiring. Anyone want to sell me a 3b harness for cheap?

[amd is the best]

Lets find this man a harness! If I had one I'd donate it!

[chaloux]

Absolutely. Swapping a harness isn't too bad. Don't give up just yet. Think of it this way: you're going to put way more work and time into it to part it out, not to mention all the time dealing with people. If you're set on selling, fix and then sell. Way way way way easier. Just my .02

Oh, And that sucks ass Rob. I would be devastated.

[paradox11235]

I have a 3b harness, PM sent.

[pkw]

sorry to hear. what and why exactly caused the leak?

[85oceanic]

:barf:

Frick dude. That sucks ass! I was sooooo looking forward to seeing how you liked that turbo set up. Hmmm maybe I should buy it back. LOL

[AUDIschwagon]

Geebus f@$#in cross....

[DE80q]

Looks like groff is selling a good 3B harness for $75. I would had to see this project get parted and scrapped because of this.

[Rallyfreak202]

nooooo!! I'm so sorry about that! I know you're moving but maybe you could buy a harness and spend a day swapping stuff over. I just hope the electrical damage is contained to the engine. Hope you won't be fighting cabin harness issues but from the looks of the burn area, you look safe.

[pilihp2]

It's hard to tell, but how how toasted are those plug wires and coils? If they're not bad all you need is a couple vacuum lines and a harness it looks like.

[iammrfancypants]

Got into ripping her apart a fairly well. Good amount of damage.


Need new ls2 coils and wires and harness to coils.


Throttle body spring snapped when I went to turn the throttle body. So need a new throttle spring or buy a used throttle body and swap the spring.

Got most of the ruined engine harness out, need to pull it through the firewall

034 silicone heater hose kit ruined

034 pcv kit ruined, distributor ruined

[elaw]

Oh man that stinks.

I'm surprised the silicone items were so badly affected - normally silicone can stand some pretty high temps. I've held silicone-insulated wire in a lighter flame for a few seconds before with little effect. But I guess there's hot and then there's _hot_. :(

You probably also should look closely for any gaskets that might have been affected. The head gasket's well enough protected it's probably okay, but the valve cover gasket might have gotten toasted.
