The $400 Mystique

[jd2-98s]

Picked this one up off of 98mystiqueLS. Going to snag the leather for my car, but also putting life back into this one.

It now moves again after installing the transmission, Big Thanks to SVTTour for a good deal on the tranny!

Have to find a Y-pipe and fix up the exhaust. But the big part is done.

The Start of it...

Bucket-O Tranny...

And Back together... Ok so it took my Saturday and Sunday....

Amen! When I grow up and get a house, I'm going to make sure the garage is tall enough to accomodate lifts.

Nice work, Jeremy!

Thankyou all for the pat on the back

A few minor things to take care of before i can put it on the road but the tranny was the major part.

Next on the list is fixing the exhaust system, working on getting a Y-pipe and then a friend of mine that is good at welding might be able to put the exhaust system back together. Also have to grab some rear controll arms.

If anyone close by ever needs work done that would be easier on a lift feel free to ask. Weekends really the only time I can do it. Also own a solus snap-on scanner and vantage Pro. and lots of electronic diag equipment to trace wires shorts, opens and what not which I can bring with me if needed.

Have the rear struts ready to go in, and also all (4) rear arms.

Sooo, i'm hopeing with in the next few weeks she'll be on the road.

Thanks for the car Did the rear suspension today. All four control arms, new rear struts and springs. Once the y-pipe comes in I can finish up by putting on the exhaust.

Got some more work done on the Mystique. Snap some update pics. The gasket for the y-pipe to cat is leaking but the rest seems to be good. Managed to save most of the exhaust that was cut off. Sorry about the pics did them on the cell phone.

Exhaust going together

Found a engine cover at the junkyard, battery hold down, and a lower airbox half with clips

Some more pics of the rear suspension

New oilpan gasket, also do the front seal. Did the rear seal when tranny was out.

One thing.... Does anyone have or can get the clip that goes over the accel cable connection to throttle body... as you can see in this pic it's the dirty white looking one just kinda hanging on...
