This is /o/. We are are all here for the same reason. We love cars. Let's show some love to the oft under appreciated daily beaters. I'll start. 4.0 5SP that I picked up for $500 couple years ago. She turned 21 this year.

It looks good anon. How's the interior?
>>
>>16734802
It's almost perfect. Headliner isn't sagging anywhere. None of the leather seats are cracked. Only cosmetic damage to the car at all is a slight crack in the fender and tape on the passenger mirror.

As for the reliability problem though, I'm likely taking it into a shop this week. I don't have the time to repair it myself with my current job.

What wrong with it? If I were to hazard a guess (from my experience) transmission ?
>>
>>16734858
Water pump needs replaced pretty bad, as do the brakes. There is a rattle when you first enter fourth gear in overdrive, but I suspect it to be a misfire rather than an actual issue with the transmission.
>>
>>16734865
Ah. Best of luck with that

Nothing wrong with auto unless you have a 3-speed.

>>16734978
it's 4 speed.
I just feel like there isn't much point in investing in performance parts for it. Just kind of restoring it a little right now. I need a project car I guess.

Paid 300 for it with a broken turbo.

Put bigger turbo on, injectors, tune, etc.

Been driving it for two years now. Probably has 220 hp and 240 lbft.

where do you guys find these beautifully inexpensive shitboxes? My local craigslist has almost nothing comfy for that cheap, intact or otherwise.

You have to be patient and negotiate properly. My Cadillac was originally listed at 1800, but I ended up wearing him down to a grand. Good thing too, since the fucker needs lots of work.
