An unusual question

[garylau]

I'm looking at a '97 Aspire for parts. The owner had started making it into a demolition derby car. The exhaust is gone. Instead it has four exhaust pipes coming straight up through a hole cut in the hood. It has sat there this way for awhile. Should I be concerned about rain having made it's way into the motor?

I'd be a bit worried...And who knows what else could have gotten in there loll!!!

I could use that front clip for my aspire! But it would be to long of a drive if I wouldn't even get a decent hood out of the deal haha. I bet that sucker is loud with that short exhaust pipe, with no muffler!

See if it starts.

See if it starts.

Supposedly it fired right up. Unfortunately the car is 3 hours away and he would be delivering it, so I won't even see it until it's sitting in my driveway. The motor isn't the main thing I was interested in anyway, just a nice bonus to the brake swap parts, wheels, and whatever else I can use.

Would it be possible for you to take better pics of the car? I think I see molded in foglights on that front bumper, not positive, but it looks like it. I would like that bumper.
