Popabella - Just can't sell it.
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2021 9:31 am
This is for my 2012 500 Pop, I had been planning to sell it but that hasn't really worked out.
The car also was previously rear ended by an uninsured driver, and that was repaired on the cheap as well. To prove that no good deed goes unpunished the car now leaks badly through the hatch. I'd take it back to the body shop but it doesn't have an engine to get there.
Anyway there is lots to fix.......
After humming and hawing about getting the engine done professionally a local friend talked me into doing it together. It'll be fun he says. We'll see.
The replacement engine showed up this week. So now we're just trying to figure out all the stuff we need before we dig in.
The car sucked up some water through the fenderwell style Injen intake, and got hydrolocked. Seemed to be okay after it was put back together, but not long after it threw a piston through the side of the block. The insurance company dug their feet in and said it probably just did that because it's a FIAT and had nothing to do with the prior hydro-lock, so I was left with a broken car.The car also was previously rear ended by an uninsured driver, and that was repaired on the cheap as well.
