Here is the story on the car. (89 Daytona 2.5 non turbo T-Tops)
It's my buddy's GF car the she got new in 89. Drove it and took great care of it. Back in 05 the head gasket blew and he decided to do a rebuild on the engine.
Well the engine got pulled and tore down. The head was warped and the work on the car kinda just stopped there. The car has been sitting in the garage since then.
The GF is tired of it sitting in there and was just going to junk it. I said that i would take it so it is my garage now. My plans are to redo it as a DD for my Daughter who will be turning 16 in the summer. My goal is to have my Daughter help me with the rebuild.
The Balance Shaft Has been torn apart and I have read that some people do not put it back in.
The warped head was taking to a machine shop and my buddy took his time getting it back or having them fix it ... well the shop went under and now the head is gone.
Any thing that you all know to help me or just point at some links of stuff i should look for will be helpfull..
Ok here are the Pics....
