Well,
Have the old 1.8 motor out of my 16v rocco and I
discover that there's more than just one crack in my
lower rad support, there are more like 5 of them.
The shop is doubtful that welding them up is going to
cut it. Looks like something more invasive is
required.
Luckily I still have the shell from the parts car and
it's lower rad support is in *much* better shape than
mine. Soooo, I think we'll be cutting out the two rad
supports and welding in the one from the parts car.
What fun!
Knew my luck had to run out sometime. My junkyard 2
liter bottom end was in great shape, as was the 4k
tranny. Bleah.
I just need this shell to hang together for 3 years
until I move out to San Diego and can find another
rocco 16v with a good body and paint to transfer all
my goodies into.
Unless someone has a good 16v body shell with decent
paint in the New England area...
