Default R.I.P. 97 expresso

i knew it wa gonna go out soon, i just hoped it would of lasted nother month or so, but i cant complai because of the miles that were on it.....and they sure werent easy sunday morning miles
i think it overheated pretty bad...we just got it towed to the house earlier ao in a few minuites im gonna go out and start ripping it apart....if everything goes o.k. then i should have another motor in it later this evening and it should be up and running again for work tonite......

Was that the original motor? I thought the wife drove a PT cruiser?

the PT cruiser is her nice car and the 97 neon is her work car...
i have the blue r/t for a work car and the durango and red r/t are my nice cars......each of our cars has a different purpose.....

i plan on going out and finishing it up here is a few minuites.....should be done within a little more then an hour or so....it really doesnt take me long to swap motors or trannys in the neons.....

and yes, that was the original motor in the car......
