    Picked up this beauty for 800 dollars. I really wanted it because it has the same mod as REDCOMPG has. LOL

    It's a 3.8 N/A has 138k miles. Figured it will cost about 250 dollars to fix with junkyard parts. Just gotta wait for a red one.

    Fortuntley the frame did not get any damage to it. Whatever the previous owner hit went right over the frame and crushed the healight and a bit of the radiator saddle. Also tore the intake tube after the MAF so the seller thought the engine was bad. Threw some duck tape and ratchet straps on it and drove it to my house.

    Which mod is that? Does it have squirrel/chipmunk in the headlight? Looks like it hit a small deer.

    Yeah well in the bumper where the headlight should be, he has a bigger pic of it. I always thought it was smashed in.

    So on an 05 obviously I don't have to worry about blocking the TB coolant ports but are the LIM gaskets still junk and need to be replaced?

    You can check to see if they have metal or not.

    Best to check since some of the 05 came with plastic and some came with the metal. Have a peek and checks worse case do a lol job.
