Bought this '91 3 weekends ago for $600... yep, it's a project, that's for sure...
Busted windshield, Minor dents, minor surface rust on susp. linkage, Rod bearing on cylinder 1 = shot, clutch... what clutch? calipers ceased, some lugs broken off, rear hatch is rusted, and wing is broken. I'm sure there are some things that I've not mentioned; However, there are no electrical problems, the dash pad isn't cracked... etc...
As of last weekend, I pulled the engine.As of this weekend, I pulled the engine from my parts 240.As of next weekend, I'll have a new clutch in the engine going in it, and it will be up and running.
My plans are to just have fun. I knew the car was going to need alot of TLC in many small ways. I'll drop this engine in for a while so that I can do a complete rebuild on the other (adding power is in question on this one.. I might wait until I rebild the next one, and go ahead and work on chassis strength and susp.) , meanwhile I'll drive it and make sure everything is mechanically sound. I'll be ordering alot of stuff over the next few months for it..... Next winter, I plan to do a undercarriage rust prevention coating.
Give me some feedback and tell me what you guys/gals think..
