The bad:
1. The car seems to have been poorly painted about 15 years ago. It was factory red and whomever sprayed it, never sprayed the door jambs, the engine bay, or under the license plate.
At this point whats showing of the factory paint looks nicer than the resprayed parts, which look like a dull pink now. (At least to my colorblind a**) so it's in need of a respray.2. The wheels were painted to match the car and it's all fading and coming off where the rims are oxidizing.
3. The hatch rattles a lot.
4. No factory aero on the car anywhere. (Means I have to buy it.)
5. The front drivers side of the car has a large, rusted hole at the front of the frame. It seems to be where the bumper mounts. It was on soaking wet grass, which prevented me from getting under it to really look. I don't think this rusted through, it seems like it was damaged and then it rusted.
6. The interior is incomplete. There is no carpet.
7. Has a cheap sub box in the back.
8. It's suffering form purple tint syndrome.
9. Based on the way the car was sitting, the suspension may be uneven. It was hard to tell as the car was on wet grass, but the rear wheels seemed to be stuffed into the rear wheel wells a little too tight.
10. Someone put the wrong battery in it, which was too tall, and their solution was to turn the battery on it's side.
It has all leaked out and damaged the engine bay.The good:
1. The car has a "rebuilt engine" it has definitely been rebuilt at one point, as the block is painted and the head is clearly less oxidized than it would be at it's age. I question how long ago it was.
2. It is a turbo.
3. The majority of the car is rust free. The floors are solid. (Which was easy to find out since there was no carpet lol)
4. The interior is mostly complete and in good shape.
5. It has T-Tops.
The owner is asking $2100 for it, which I feel is way too much. I'm thinking it's more of a $1000 car, but I'm not sure if he's going to go for it.
Obligatory crappy cell phone pic
I figure it would take me a year to get it all done.
