I dont have the time or patience to make this car as nice as it could be. I pulled it off the market to do some repairs, but its never going to get done. I honestly believe that with 1000 dollars and some spare time this could be a really nice car....unfortunatly, I have too many projects to do this one.

The car has 226,000 miles on it. The car is by no means perfect, it is going to need bushing and control arms. The driveshaft needs balanced because i am a moron and forgot to mark it before i took the 2 halves apart.There is a slight vibration around at 40MPH. Tires are going to need replaced soon.. It may need a timing belt (I was told it only had around 8,000 miles on it, but the previous owner was a little hazy memorywise). Interior is all there withthe exception of the piece under the column and the backseat is trashed from a battery that leaked, dash lights are dim, the stereo surround is cracked, no stereo in the car either. Center console isnt in great shape either. I just put a good glovebox in, but i forgot to order a latch...so it needs one of those.

The engine runs strong, and the body itself is in pretty good shape, save for a couple small dings and some small rust spots. Clearcoat is peeling off in a couple places. The pictures show the car without the moulding on the car, but they are on the car now.

The waterpump decided to start leaking so I parked it this weekend, and the trans is probably going to need replaced (although I have on on order that i will sell for what i paid)

It probably would, but i cant promise anything. The waterpump is leaking and the trans is kind of hard to get into gear (syncros are going bad), but other than that, i havent had any mechaincal problems. If you are interested, let me know soon. I have a buyer that is willing to pay the 900, but i have to deliver it to the other side of michigan, which i dont really have the time to do unless i have to.
