Replacing both hoses going to the heater core from the bottom side of the block, water pump and drive belt.
Sounds like that good deal is really paying off.
Ha Ha Ha, I know where your getting at but least i know needs when I bought it as compared to buying car from complete stranger.
Actually, that kind of makes it worse.
It's like re-marrying an ex-wife.
You paid for it the first time around, you got rid of her knowing what the issues were.
You let somebody else take her for a while, spend a few bucks on her, and really let her go down hill.
Then, you decide to take her back, knowing what her issues are, and what the other guy has done to her along the way.
Now, you got her back; and the bitch is older, uglier, and even more expensive to maintain than the first time around.
