Hey guys. I've been looking for a project car to play with and wanted to find a clean southern car which I did. I go and pick it up and two things keep it from being the car I'm going to build. 1) It has a sunroof which is sadly going to make me tilt my head to the side when wearing a helmet on track days and 2) its just too damn nice to gut.
So this is the deal. I want to find this car a decent home and need to find a S13 or S14 that is still solid but that I won't cry at the thought of gutting and rebuilding. This car is RUST FREE which will make you folks here in the salt belt giddy. It has some tasteful mods like R32 4 piston fronts and a few other things. The car drives very well with NO obvious issues at all.
Things the car needs to be perfect... It has some paint chips and nicks here and there. Nothing that is obvious from more than 5ft or so however. It has a leaking power steering pump but how many do not? It has a nice head unit and is set up for a big audio system but if you like radio and live outside a larger city you will need to adjust/hook up the antenna. The car did have a very minor title issue which is now a NON issue, this is not a negative at all but its stuff that I went through so you don't have too. Thats about all that pops to mind but there may be a few other small things.
So what is so great about this car? Well, its just stunning in how clean it is. I have seen and worked on a lot of project cars and this car is flat out solid. It would honestly be sad to gut it but I probably would if not for the sunroof that just steals about 2" or so that my head needs otherwise. It would make for a very nice Ka-T build or swap but is ready to drive as is for a long time if thats what you want to do.
I went through a good bit of trouble getting this car up north but am willing to let it go for not much more than I have in it. If you have a car that suits my needs and you want to trade up this may be for you and we both end up happy. $5000 drives it away otherwise. I would ask for more but I'm not gonna try to screw someone when I got a good deal. I could take a bit less as part of a trade (maybe) but a lot of effort and money is in this car to this point and I'll keep it rather than take a loss.
Thanks for looking.
