Cons:
Doesn't run will need to be towed...
To be honest the interior needs a TON of work and redone all together... Never smoked in it / doesn't smell just very WORN!
Exterior is UGLY in that is primered ( was going to PAINT IT ) with all emblems removed ( I have them in a bag! )
Battery is DEAD... Haven't run it in a few months... ( so if you want to test the engine, bring a battery! )
Tires are OK, but should be swapped out they are around end of life, especially with a new strong D15 engine!
OEM Bumper Clips is on their really good but could be swapped out...
Needs Both visors - Junk Yard
Trunk lock is loose...
Ignition key is different that doors, had to replace it...
Bonus Items:
I still have the original engine ( well my neighbor does and you can have that too if you would like it ). One cycle was very low pressure and needs to restored.
