surely you can find a screw that would fit in your junk drawer?
Oh man from the island I am assuming it is reasonably rust free? Fix it up, these coastal ALHs are amaƶing. Poor car though, I only have the plastic belly pan, but a 1½" lift, I drive quite cautiously on logging roads. Reminds me of a time I had a buddy do the same (minus running dryWhat did I do? Bought (another) one.
2002 base model - crank windows and mirrors, albeit with A/C - with a blown motor.
I'd worked on this car before; owner was driving up a logging road, hit a rock (no skid plate, despite my admonitions), and drove it as far it'd go, hoping for the best (ended up with the worst.
So - just need to decide whether to find a motor for it, or part it out.....
) in a gnarly whoop on a logging road 50̷0̷m from camp. (this was a 1.8T, mind you) Immediately knew what happened and shut it off. We were to be at that camp for about 2 weeks, so he ordered a pan, gasket and oil, and on the day off with a bunch of buddies who he supplied tailgate burgers to, got it rolling. It was an awesome case of backlands dusty dirtroad repairs, and it kept on going with no issues. At one point while it was still sitting, a CO showed up and said "does anyone know where 'insert full name here' is?" We all thought it was for the dumped oil haha but it was just trying to figure out why it was parked there.Fix it! Fix it! This poor car deserves another chance at life. LolWhat did I do? Bought (another) one.

Pity we aren't closer to each other, I'd trade you an ALH for a wagon hatchSo - just need to decide whether to find a motor for it, or part it out.....
why do so many people blow these irreplaceable engines up
surely the block can be rebuilt tho, i hope it doesn't go to scrap!!
Would do that deal in a heartbeat!Pity we aren't closer to each other, I'd trade you an ALH for a wagon hatch
Tell me it ain't so,another stage 4 with a blown motor lolWould do that deal in a heartbeat!
There are some go-fast bits on it, too, but I'm sure the VNT17 turbo is cooked, but I'm figuring the clutch injectors are fine. "Stage 4" tuned....but that would need to get rectified regardless.
And yes - body is in great shape. Just doing a quick once-over and there's no corrosion popping up anywhere. Missing a side mirror, though - which is easy enough to fix).
I'm glad the Condo rules where I live only allow 2 cars.
Mother Necessity, or maybe just laziness, has struck again.Set out to swap injection pumps on my car this evening but I realized I don't have a long reach cam lock and I really don't want to pull my valve cover again as it's sealed up nicely right now...
How much do I send you for mine?Mother Necessity, or maybe just laziness, has struck again.
After shopping around and deciding I didn't want to pay stupid shipping for a long reach lock and wait a week for it to show up, I built one instead. I thought it would be kinda tricky to figure out but it wasn't too bad.
Yes, a 3/8" bar is likely excessive, and yes, my welds have crap penetration but hey, it'll hold! And it doesn't even look too ugly. Pretty pleased with how precisely I drilled the holes too, with a cordless drill.

Long Reach Cam Lock for ALH
Long reach type camshaft locking tool for ALH engines. The long-reach design means that the camshaft can be locked at TDC without requiring the removal of the valve cover, saving a bunch of t...www.idparts.com
Yeah that's the IDParts one, the Metalnerd ones are much more spendy.
I bought this one too.

Well, after I get the lines off, yes. But there's always crud under the nuts...
