Car sold....thank you for your interest.
If you're looking for a car that is the perfect candidate for a swap and are tired of the same old S13 stuff........maybe this car is for you.
I bought this car from a F31club member for 500, spent 500 to ship it down here, replaced a bunch of stuff, and now will be selling it unless some miracle shows up in the way of a new place to live that will tolerate two cars.
What sucks is that I will probably be looking for the exact same car in a few months.
Might have to get rid of my daily driver for the last 4 years (L28ET swap) as well.

Known issues are.......
1. Wiring harness between driver's door and body has a broken/shorted wire that only occurs when the door is shut. (if I maniuplate it a bunch) the symptom goes away for a while but I have had to unplug the door lock timer unit in the driver's kick panel under the transmission controller because the doors will try to lock continually and drain the battery.
2. A/C has large leak somewhere but compressor runs without excessive noise.
3. No radio (bose is in but not connected.....antenna works) but has adapter harness to allow you to splice into adapter and simply plug and play without mangling the wiring.
4. The very common power steering leak in the pressure hose.
5. Right front shock weak.............3 others replaced with good functioning shocks.
6. Rack bushings beat up causing rack to move just enough that steering wheel "centers" either to the left or to the right of center depending on which direction you last turned.
7. Speedo cable will need to be replaced soon (seen them online for $69)
I'm sure there are some other issues but I have spent only a short amount of time on this car replacing 3 shocks, left rear control arm, differential, 1 cylinder head, exhaust studs and gaskets.
The car has the typical driver seat and top of rear seat leather cracks but the dash is not cracked and the interior is better than most I have seen..........which was my main reason for buying the car.................that and the body having no rust or big dents though paint has been rubbed off of rear bumper and spoiler a bit.
It only has one 1.5 inch chassis crack on the driver's side unlike my white one that has 2 each at tops AND bottoms of door opening at B pillar.
Links to large pictures and one of both cars and I might also sell the one with the L28et swap but it is my daily driver even if it has super harsh chassis cracks.
