So heres the new deal I picked up locally here off of an guy in Lakewood. Got a pretty good deal I think, its been crazy, the prices on these are just going up, buying one is like an investment almost.
So I was looking for something to work on over the summer, and this one came across, The guy said that he went over a speed bump and cracked the oil-pan since the car is so freekin low, he then drove it and it felt weird (well duuuh) He then discovered the problem and changed the oil-pan, put new oil in and he said that he never got it to work after that. It sat for 2 months so he decided to put it up for sale asking $900
Came out there, didn't even try to start it, just looked around and picked her up for $700 the guy was supper cool, and easy going. He was saying that it was the first time he is selling something :grin:
Brought her home and the next day started to dig in, got a fresh battery in and started up just fine
Looks like there's another problem with the charging system, cause after a wile it started to die on me, but works fine with jumpers on from a running car. So I need a new alt.
Little on the car:
-Its lowered supper low on some coils (RED color)
-Black basket weaves with new tires in the back
-Ebay headlights (I hate them so much, would never put those kind on) rather have the regular sealed beams
-All trim blacked out
-Black interior (I like)
-Set of gauges in the lower console
-Little dent in on the driver side grill
-Real crappy paint job :( It used to be black, wish it was black
Some of the things I did:
-Washed and cleaned out all the green stuff (been sitting for a while)
-Put my roof rack from a 90 civic (fits fine no need for new brackets)
-Volvo lip (had that laying around) good for scrapping off rats in the middle of the road
-Relocated the front plates
Things still to come:
-Got to get it running strait, tune up the engine
-Taurus side skirts (its ok no flames please) its just because I can
-Change out those headlights for sure
-Fix all the dent ins that are fixable
-Hope I can do something about the paint (respray
)
Another thing is the the car was originally from Oregon, and the guy who I bought the car from doesn't know a lot about it, he never done any of the mods to it, I was hopping maybe the owner would recognize there car. Its ok Im not gonna be mad at you for a crappy paint job LOL.
