germany: where all the neons will maybe go

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 2:13 pm

got a new toy today

Unfortunatelly not autostick, but nice anyway

And together with this piece

I will built a OBD-Cluster-Adapter (will get +, ground and PCI-Bus from the OBD) and try a PT Cruiser Cluster if I get one for cheap anytime.
Does anyone know, if two clusters connected with the PCM at the same time will work ??

Now we got a totalled 2000 LE as a donor for several parts

and it looks like a mini-meeting if my buddy visits ...

I like that last pic- at least these Neons have others to keep them company so far from Belvidere!

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 7:33 pm

So we stay on tune - worked last saturday and today...

Always a good idea to keep that from your original bumper for the oem

Lovely - they will go directly into my LE

Let the a/c fluid off ozonefriendly ...

todays work - started late but anyway

Our lifter

To dark fpr nice pictures, but on top two wooden beams with strong eyelets and a winch

... here it is

and if anything goes wrong...

So we are ready to get to the engine-swap next time (2.0 vs 2.0) - just for heaving a non-leaking engine...

Probably because kids here are so stupid they'd find a way to kill themselves in one and all the hardcore leftist people would blame the goverment and anyone else they could to have them banned.

They are in America. They are just not everywhere yet. At a car show we went to last year. They had them set up.

Picked up our next donor/ project car today.

Black LE without trany and without engine.
We plan to either tear it apart as well as the silver or install the engine and the trany laying around.

Reason for breaking it up for the seller was a defective radiator followed by a broken 40TE as usual . . .

Damn now i know where all the neons are going, looks like you own every neon sold in germany.

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:49 pm

Today we delivered the silver (#4) from it´s pain

Good thing for a using a rear window except as a rear window (think I have to experimentalize a bit with this and my cheap Casio

) :

We cut it in two pieces at laeast, but unfortunatelly it had been too dark for nice pictures.

I need some place for my next projects - a R/T would be cool I think

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 6:40 pm

Oh yes - I feel totalled myself and the jigsaw is rubbish now

Recently the view back into my garden

and to the street

- Hope my next wish becomes true - to get a 00 LX with ripped timing belt - or an R/T. Hmm, can´t understand why my wife is so critical right now

But number one on her list had been done today: cut at least one wreck into pieces before you get the next . . .

If you ever wanted to know how much the car body shell weighs

2 6 0 k g

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 4:36 pm

had been so empty in my garden since...

so I picked up this today

211000 km and engine should be damaged by ruptured timing belt, will see next time

redneckmoparman · Post by **redneckmoparman** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:22 am

I want one of those so bad i will find and bring one back when im in the military

BlackRoseRacing · Post by **BlackRoseRacing** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:18 am

I dont know if anyone else noticed....Where's the rust on those cars?
That silver body you chopped up was rust free underneath

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:48 pm

You´re right. Even the subframe was in very good condition.
The black LE here has a lot more rust. Especially the rear left panel - like a lot Neons else here

I´m happy that my other two silvers don´t have that rust so far. For the subframe I urgently have to do something on my 2000 LE. Will watch under the 99 LX which I recently have bought, not at least I have to try to repair the engine as the timing belt is definitely gone.

After all these neons I think it is time to get to a new project - retaurating a lifter. I got one for cheap, but unfortunatelly laying in the dirt for years and with a lot of missing parts. It´s from 1977 and for 2.500 kg.
I had to derust and paint it, build a strong basement, make a place where I can work with it then and find all the smaller or bigger (and therefore more or less expensive) parts.

I had to get a new headplate with a bearing for one pillar, but there has been no original part available. So I bought an universal bearing and made a plastik-plate as a sample.

Two nuts - really special and quite expensive

Data-plate of the motor

and of the lifter itself

Worn control-unit ( I have to build a new one)

Connectionbox of the motor. Fortunatelly my house has a 3phase connection.

Lucky as I think I am, the motor is still running (just a test drive) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZjUk3Co1fI
.
.
.
Damn, all parts are really heavy

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Fri Dec 28, 2012 11:50 am

Wired up a new controlbox last time

and finally finished (so far) today.

Looks pretty cool, I think I have to take a picture from the road when the neon is lifted up over the fence next time

mopar2 · Post by **mopar2** » Fri Dec 28, 2012 12:02 pm

Looks good! Can you build a roof or awning over it for good weather protection since it's outside?

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Fri Dec 28, 2012 1:30 pm

yeah, would be a lot better. I think I will do something when I take the scrappy shed down sometimes. But unfortunatelly I need a building permit for those kind of things (or I have to do it stone by stone and especially in the dark

)

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:19 pm

picked up just another (totaled) silver neon yesterday

So I can do my own meetings now

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 1:33 am

Your yard is starting to look like chipdogg's!

Pics of the latest Neon?

Gnuserup · Post by **Gnuserup** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 7:38 am

Damn - there is someone else collecting wrecks

But fortunatelly it seems not over here...

Though it looks like I have to be more busy to catch chipdog up

Here are some more pics from the outside.
Inside there are already a lot of parts missing, but most important - the engine is complete.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Sat Jan 12, 2013 12:11 pm

I'm just glad that you are finding them rather than Neons going to the crusher.
