Picked this car up off of a classmate in my automotive tech program for 500 bucks recently and have been trying to get everything fixed to make it my DD.
The car had sit at a friend of the PO's house for the majority of the last year and has a few minor things wrong. I'll let the pictures do the talking from here on out, even though it's a little rough it was love at first sight, especially once I talked him down from 1500 to 500.
These 3 are before I did anything, exactly the way I got the car:
I was not a fan of the yellow high beams, so those had to go, also made my best attempt at straightening out the front end since it appears to have been in some sort of low speed collision. Removed the front bumper, grill, valance, plastic trim, etc. Did my best to straighten the metal underneath it all and then put it all back on. This pic is just a test fit pic, everything is not bolted on or perfectly situated, just snapped a quick pic before leaving school. Front valance is being sanded down to be repainted, had a lot of chips and gouges in it. Also tucked the diving boards.
Turned the front rotors, and am now in the middle of trying to figure out what caused all 4 headlights to blow:crazy:
Also, is the 13 button OBC supposed to stay on with the key off, and door shut?
Other problem I'm currently trying to figure out is why the driver's door lock plunger wont operate the lock but if i reach inside the door and bypass that part and just pull the direct linkage it works..
Stay tuned for what other problems I run into.
Edit: Found out it was originally bronzit and also forgot to mention it has some rust up by the sunroof, one hole on driver's side that need's to be dealt with, as well as some rust in the trunk floor. Will get more pics next week when I go back to school, seeing as right now it's my school project
