Stop hallucinating. You can start and drive a vehicle with no overflow bottle whatsoever.

In fact, you can start and idle a cold ambient temperature vehicle several minutes without a radiator before it starts to heat up.

Hey come on give me a break


I thought it was the reservoir at first but like you said about running a car without a radiator.

I'm gonna go back today and check the plugs, and maybe get inside.


The oil looked good as well, just dirty. it wasn't watery or milky. I checked under the oil cap as well to see if there was that nice peanut buttery gunk there (it was there when my head gaskets went on my old 305).

It doesn't look like there was coolant in the car, and I'm gonna check out the gas tank HOPEFULLY.

Well I went back down today and looked at the car. I told him I'd give $300 + a sony digital camera (Nothing special 7.2 MP). He said he would think about it.

So I look under the hood again, went around and checked the tires and shocks. While I was looking by the radiator I noticed 2 lines with the same type of ends with nothing in between. They look like tranny cooler lines but I'm not sure. What goes in between these two lines? Pictures below













I'm hoping this guy meets me here soon because I want to see if this thing starts and runs. Both oils look good, the brake fluid looks okay, and it looks like there coolant in the radiator. The reservoir is in the corner by the passenger side headlight right?


The signal lights are in the back of the car. is this thing an 88? look at the hood sticker (does it even have any relevance?). Do you think this car was a turbo swap?
