So, I bought this about 6 months ago from these forums intending to fix up and use as a daily. Six months have passed and I havn't done much.
THE BAD
Might as well start here.
Body looks okay in photos but is a bit rough, certainly not a looker, and if you want something that looks sharp it probably isn't worth it...
Blown Head Gasket - Pretty much standard on these by the sound of it. I bought it knowing the headgasket was gone, intended to do the job, just haven't got the time/space.
Spare tyre (space saver) is bald.
Missing a few exterior trim pieces.
THE GOOD
Interior is all there and original
Car is a factory 4-wheel disc brake with LSD rear end
4x4 Gearbox makes no odd noises and shifts well
Brakes seem to work fine, suspension fine
Effectively it needs headgasket done and new spare tyre and she's good to go. All I'm after is what it cost me which is $950. If anyone has any interest on this forum I can provide more photos. Car should be collected on a car trailer as it drives pretty rough and the left gasket drips oil on the exhaust manifold. Car starts and idles okay no milkiness in the oil, no oil in the coolant, very low compression on one cylinder and gaskets weeping oil.
