wow,sorry guys I didn’t see all the replies!

as far as areas of concern on the car, it’s really only the paint. it was repainted once before and it’s getting a little rough here and there.

and as I’m sure you assumed, I’m not really interested in trading up. I’m trying to move out of my parent’s house. It isn’t absolutely necessary to sell this, but the extra cash would be helpful. and believe me, if the car doesn’t sell It won’t make me sad 🙂

Interior condition? Rear End? What kind of suspension work is/could be done? I really like this. I’d like it a lot more if it was a hair lower in height, if it’s going to be a matter of throwing some coils/springs on, awesome.

They sell lowering springs for a couple hundred$ the interior just needs carpet. The dash is in perfect condition. No cracks at all. The suspension is all stock. Driveshaft was made at fleetpride. Denny’s wouldn’t build one for me. Claimed they couldn’t balance it. They’re full of shit. Differential is a stock r200, welded. Has 3.91:1 gears.

This thing is so fucking bomb, that price is super tempting to buy, paint 666 on the side, fab zoomies and terrorize white people in the suburbs. Fuck me…someone buy it before I remember what a tiny dick I have and consider this to be a viable method of compensation.
