yeah i think ima go take some coolant to get tested so i can see if it did fuck it up. oil doesn't seem to have any issues though.



don't has a shopvac! just a big ol air compressor and a water hose lols.


Should buy one. The time saved on this job alone will probably be worth it.

And tbh I use my shopvacs alot. I have 1 dry and 1 wet. Very handy tools. But I like my toolbox, bench, and garage to be pretty clutter free.

i just work on this stuff in my yard. flip it to church people looking for cheap cars during hard times which isn't too rare down here.

i'd just feel like a dick flipping it with a possible overheat issue lol.

Wobble at speed can be alot of things.

Where is the wobble coming from? Front end or rear?

Could be wheel bearing, shifted belt on a tire, worn bushings, unbalanced tire. Could also be serious. Like trans, driveshaft, or diff.

Those 90's caddys are FWD right? They switched to FWD for a while, I know that.

gonna be a shame if i gotta replace it. they got like 100 miles on them max lol.

i fuckin destroyed the rims on it to when i put it on the trailer. dick aimed too close to the rail and i ate the first 2 up and then the other 2 i ruined the center caps trying to keep from scraping the doors on the way back off the trailer.

i wanna paint em but i feel like basic black would look god awful against the pearly white body lol.
