I traded this thing for a 1995 Mercedes Benz C280 about a year ago. With the price range $1000. When I got it at about 140,000 miles on it so must say that I've been very happy with the 60,000 miles that I put on it for simply Trading the car that I bought on Marketplace for only a grand. Been doing great ever since the radiator cracked  Began overheating,,,,..... Driving, fixed the radiator.... All while very under employed,....  completely cooked the cylinder head / block and obviously the head gasket. Now Oil psi is tanking until I open it up on the highway at 6.500rpm.

 

 

Please let it be noted that I really don't want to blow this motor in the fashion that I'm driving however I'm just extremely limited on Transportation the moment and if anything if I could just do one sweet burnout video and just completely get every penny that I've invested in my front tires and you know one up for Ken Block rest in peace sweet burnout video until I'm smoking the tires straight rims and then burn up the engine I don't want to destroy it like that but junk Arizona for 300 bucks for it so get the other 1200 bucks worth of your entertainment while out of it right ? If I end up going that route I will definitely definitely submit a link to the burnout video . My main issue is I just don't have anywhere to work on this damn thing because in Colorado obviously can't just doing head gaskets on the side of the street I mean I'm sure you can plenty of places people do it but without comfortably sleeping inside my freshly worked on Van and not having to worry about code enforcement f****** with me or getting towed or EPA fines I mean honestly it's just a head gasket longer I sit here and b**** about it the longer it's going to take me to fix it but like I said I'm not exactly in the mechanic / repair field anymore I used to have a lot more tools like a lot lot more tools I just haven't been fixing cars professionally as a daily recently so I've got like a handful of tools a bunch of excuses but I really want to put a big ass turbo on this thing with a different engine and I know the damn EPA can't even do that s*** anymore like what fun is it I don't want to just do it damn easy swap although all wheel drive minivan with 700 to 1,000 foot pounds of torque fully Bill actually sounds pretty dope but I don't make that kind of money I need that lineman money or welding steel beams at 700 ft in the air money I don't have that kind of money I'm broke ass white boy doesn't even have a job to dumb to even advertise from detailing business it's like all the answers are right here in front of me I'm just struggling dearly anyway anybody wants to sign up for throwing wrenches at me until I figure it out please please do participate because I need to do something and fast . All I do is welcome please please sure But instead of just putting all those parts back in it I want to do something different now. It is a minivan and it does with three tons stock with me in it so what else other than Honda k-series k24A4 or some variation.....? With you guessed it and all wheel drive conversion and a massive f****** Turbo. Now these are Big Dreams for a daily driver that also doubles as my house recently however I plan to get working soon and make this s*** happen or I'm just going to sell it to a junkyard and use the money I get to put down on a lift but if anybody has some parts laying around possibly a spot in their garage they want to share and or rent and you live in Colorado will give me a holler at 720. 649. 7609 I'm trying to do some crazy ass Frankenstein swap or honestly K24 A4 Big Turbo swap with wait for it an EV conversion not like no damn hybrid though it's going to be yes on the likes of Tesla but it's all the turbo phone if you're just going to go Electric boom you get the best of both worlds there I would go multi-fuel but I don't want to just appear off the planet so I'm going to just stick with the hydrocarbon guzzling lithium. Battery cell consuming - /-- automobiles. 

.. ORRRR 

 

TURN the damn thing into a frikken HOVER CRAFT! 

 

I could not be more serious right now folks. 

 

All ideas welcome, I don't get butt hurt easily so please don't hold back.. 

 

I'm not homeless, I'm a mechanic who's Shop/garage less. :::(

 

Simple stuff, so easy, yet so impossible for me to even consider at the moment. Unemoyeed 9 months, failed detailing business. 

 

Fellow mechanics, I may need to have wrenches thrown at me until stop this cycle of unemployment. :::::? %
