Well built and my least favorite chassis when it comes to hatchbacks!

Any issues with NYS inspection being it is a '95 motor and running OBD1?

Its inspected until Sept 2013 and I haven’t had a problem, I’ve got a guy. Should also note that yes its a 95 motor but it has an OBD2 Crank Position Sensor wired up, and throws no codes besides cel for cat when converted to OBD2, this can be beat with a simple spacer or O2 Simulator.

Bump, throw any trades at me, I’ll entertain some interesting ones. No bikes unless its an on-road off-road dirt bike. Or maybe a sport quad or 4x4 quad, something plus cash.
