91-Leggy_RX Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 pick up this little diamond in the rough a couple days ago. got the engine pulled the first night along with interior and started the extensive restoration process. i picked it up from an older couple who were the original owners! 133k miles, 5 speed awd total price so far, $1,020 with towing it from seattle to marysville to my friends shop. bought it off craigslist after a few days of trying to get ahold of them. drove it this winter with water in the radiator and no antifreeze so it ended up freezing one night and they drove it to work (30 miles) and it started to run rough and eventually died pulling into the gas station. had it towed home and found a Bad headgasket issue. lol and so here it is. first night i got it home. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0082.jpg got it in the shop and started pulling it apart. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0083.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0084.jpg engines out! http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0088.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0092.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0093.jpg nasty interior. before and afters. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0096.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0097.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0098.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0099.jpg after 2 hours of scrubing everything http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0100.jpg cleaned up the headlights, 5 min of polish on the left. 10 min on right. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0101.jpg gave it a wash real quick http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0104.jpg and did a test wax of the paint on the fender. the hood is what it all looks like close up. and the fender is after wax. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/SOLUSTHEJOKER/Photo0103.jpg thats all i got so far. ill be cleaning the seats up and modding the door panels and gauge cluster tonight, more pics up tomorrow.

burnout8488 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like the pass side CV axle is totally ripped, am I seeing that right? I'm trying to find a cheap craigslist fixer-upper subie like this too. They're completely worth the money and there is always money to be made on the blown headgasket ones! As far as modding the door panels and cluster....... I hope that doesn't mean painting them blue and putting LEDs in, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
