Those moments are what keep car-lovers poor!

I thought f**k it I'll just put the engine out of the wreck into the black FTO as all it needed was a timing belt and water pump

so I tow it to my mechanic and he looks at it and turns out all the valves are bent and everything inside was fucked

The next day I went out and bought the belts I needed which were torn off got home and went to put them on only to realize I had nothing to put them on my aircon compressor pulley and tensioner pulley were no longer there and my harmonic balancer was all wobbly and needed replacing so anyway I hit up Dwayne for a new tensioner pulley and second hand harmonic balancer and so a couple of days pass and I still needed an aircon compressor so I was asking everyone then all of a sudden I see this blue gpx on eBay for 2500 so I called him up and talked for a while all in all I talked the guy down to 1500 so I contact taz coz I knew he needed a shell and we both go look at it and it's all good nice car for the price. So we tow it to my house and I get the aircon compressor I needed off it and put it on my black one along with the new tensioner pulley then after a couple of days I get it towed to my mechanic and he went to put on the new harmonic balancer and he couldn't coz the keyway was fucked and along with the crankshaft so that moter was rooted so I thought f**k it I'll just put the engine out of the wreck into the black FTO as all it needed was a timing belt and water pump so I tow it to my mechanic and he looks at it and turns out all the valves are bent and everything inside was fucked so now I have to buy another engine possibly the one out of brads wreck so this better be the last engine I ever buy lol oh the joys of having an FTO
