and a final shot of the engine bay:

Runs almost perfectly. No problems, no leaks. Many cosmetic issues, but thats cool. itll go point A to point B.

Step one is to repaint the hood vents. the passenger side hood vent is killing me. but beyond that, i have very few plans. its commuter, not play.

Not a bad car for the deal.

yeah, its official. shes withdrawing from classes tomorrow.

my guess would be repainted because of how uniform it is, there are a couple of spots where its flat black, too. oh, theres one spot of rust under the spoiler that i didnt mention.

You know when the last time the timing belt/alternator were changed? Alot of man hours to do these repairs. I recomend when 1 of these goes that you do both to save money in the future. I had a z34 and it ran strong to 300k.

nice pickup. Should be a good car. The motor is large, and therefor makes some mechanical work difficult, and more time consuming than a 3.8L, but it is a strong motor when kept up. Rest of the car doesn't look bad either, just some paint fade. How's the interior?

thanks foer the comments so far.

as for the interior . . . theres a reason there are no interior shots.

but i withdraw my comment about it running "almost perfectly" with "no leaks".

those are nice cars.. very peppy.. rides nice.. but repairs on them are a BEACH!!

i know to change the alt you have to drop the side of the engine carriage..

but looks like a good buy!!!
