Car has been sold. Thanks guys

 

 

 

My Father-in-law wants me to put his car up for sale for him, so I decided to see if any of you guys wants to get it before it goes on ebay since he doesn\'t want to renew tags for the car. We put a rebuilt motor (about 15k on rebuild) in this car about 2 months ago and have been driving it ever since. Car runs strong, turbo spools up fine and holds boost. No leaks other than a cracked thermostat housing that were going to replace. All stock but 2 mods done to it. The entire exhaust systems was removed and used a straight pipe (no cat) and 2 1/2 DP. EGR has been deleted. Both fans come on at 180* or so and the car never sees the half way mark. It always stays cool even in city stop and go. Has never overheated since we had the car. He looking to get $1200 for it.

 

NO major dents on the car at all. Rust is very small spots of the rear fender and underneath with surface rust. Frame was fixed in one spot. All interior lights work fine, was going to relocate the A/C,Heat controller to the lower part but we never finished that as you can see from the pictures. It still works fine and blows hot air, does blow cold air and the A/C works. The car is located here in Germantown, MD now, but I was going to drive it down to South Carolina and park it there till it was sold. If you want the car and your up north some let me know ASAP and I'll keep the car here.

 

Most of the cracked vac. lines have been replaced with the red vac. lines as you can see in the pictures. Car dash has 169k on the od, may have been a southern car.

 

Interior is all cloth and is in pretty good condition both front and rear seats don't have any tears in them. I didn't clean the car when I took the pictures because the keys were with the father in law.

 

Tires have 75% tread left.

New front brakes.

New fuel pump.

Extra set of belt for the car

New vac. lines.

New thermostat *180

Interior is still clean but 1 small spot on driver side seat. Dime sized whole.

3 wire O2 sensor working.

 

 

Now the bad:

As said before the cracked thermostat housing (top part...NOT intake side) is needed. I'm working on getting one now.

Front airdam is cracked, but looks like it could be repaired. see picture

Need new rear brakes and E. cable adjusted.

Might need new rear struts. Right side is going but would replace both sides.

Working on getting stock working radio as of now also.

 

If you have any questions just give me a call and you can come look at it or test drive it. If you need more pics let me know also. It started to get dark and the flash made the grass that was freshly cut hours before look like it was on there for months.

 

Thanks,

Ray

Get a bucket and some soap and do some better pics in the Daytime if possible can't tell on the paint? My bro may want it but would need better pics for sure...

 

 

Yeah...I should have just waited to wash it first but my father-in-law was taking so long to get back with the keys that I just went ahead and snapped a few shots, but first thing in the morning I'll have the inside and outside cleaned up so you can see it better.

Please post washed car pic!

 

Whats with the exhaust? That a fart can on that?

 

Does the e Brake hold the car in place?

 

 

LOL...yeah the fart can was on there when I got it. I just left it on there, my father-in-law thought it was "tacky" so we was gonna get another one but since he decided to sell it now. There's really no point.

 

No the e brake wont hold the car, it was a lot worse before I replaced the front pads. When I checked out the rear pads I did notice they were low. I didn't spec them or anything but that's what I'm guessing after looking at them. So I'm thinking if the rear pads get replaced then the e brake will have to be adjusted also.

 

Don't worry I'm going to post of the car all washed up and vacuumed out and everything.
