I’d pay $500 for that nice score

No joke. I'd be driving one instead of my 14 if I had found that deal.

Not bad at all! Curious what it looks like cleaned up.

Not that pretty, got lots of paint pen work. Definitely a 20fter.

Also been smoked in, interior looks white from all the baking soda.

Oil pressure fixed, O ring didn't look bad but did the trick. Runs good, just need to bleed the brakes as they mushy.

Now I need to upgrade the stance, I think I am going to buy lowering shackles and lowering struts.

IMO, 3/5 drops are the perfect stance on that body style.

But for a $500 beater, I'd just put a rear sway bar on it and sink the rest of the upgrade money into a sloppy turbo setup. All go, no show.

Well had some vibration on deacceleration and a clunk...

Clunk fixed! Still vibrates like a ***** on deacceleration...

Some spray paint and a wash! ohh axle bearing took a **** too...

A bag of regular charcoal (not match-light) under the back seat will knock that smell out. I’ve heard ground coffee works too but never tried it personally.
