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.

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? :D
