she told me that it had an ugly front end on it...so my first thoughts were that it was a pignose...i went to go look at it and sure enough it was a silvia front.

Reminds me of the story where, A guy went out to look at an AE86 and it was running like crap. He looked around and decided he wasn't gonna pay asking price but would buy for a few hundred off. and as soon as title got signed he unpluged and replugged all the spark plugs to the distributor, to make sure it was secure and it started purring like a kitten and he had a problem free AE86 for cheap.

ive got another similar story to this...i bought a 95 vw gti vr6 from a honda guy... he thought the transmission was shot because he could never find reverse(not knowing reverse was down and forward)...i talked him down $1300 only to have a nice clean gti.

I guess my question is: how did she end up with this thing in the first place?

By the way, nice vr4. I want one so badly.

Looks like a great starter car for 1500. It didn't run before? Or just not run well?

I like your other cars. those vr4 galants are what 1/3000 ever made (edit woops 1/2000). Ballin daily imo.

Subscribing to this thread. Good to hear you're gonna clean it up and rust prep.

Haha! I actually had an opportunity to buy one this past summer. The guy said it either had a blown head gasket or the turbo seals had gone bad, all he knew was there was alot of white smoke. He wanted too much though... sucks being a poor college kid lol.

So I bought my S13 instead
