ok so i bought this gsl-se in 98 or so, and in 2001 i took it all apart and had it painted. then i lost my place to keep it and its been sitting in a buddies yard for 3+ years. the paint job sucks! the motor spins but it smoked a lot last time it ran (2002) so i imagine it smokes a lot a lot now.
i have all the bits to make it really nice but i'm not sure if i want to spend the time/money to do it, and its almost to big of a project to give away. so what should i do with the thing? |
Give it to me ill come pick it up.

If you don't manna mess with it, just sell it to put a few bucks in your pocket. It would make a nice project car for someone who wanted to spend the time. |
Are you not from California area? Go find a better car, rust free. Fixing broken or rusty things takes a lot of time. It may not cost anything if you do ti yourself, but j ust spent all day removing the rust and paint from the subframe, control arms, and front diff case with a wire wheel. My back hurts and I cursed every hour.
Just find a good car and be done. |

Just find a good car and be done. theres no rust on the thing. see the problem is i have about $2500 into the car already to get it looking like that. if the paint job turned out ok then it wouldnt be a big deal, but i dont want to tear it apart again and buy another paint job, i dont think |
Definitely give it to Van.

Is the paint really that bad? A light wet sand or just a heavy cut and polish should bring it back to life, unless of course it bubbled or checked everywhere. Pics are too hard to judge over the internet. |

body work is lousy, but the paint would mostly buff/polish out |

Mazda used-es metal that is way too thin, once someone tries to massage out the easly made dents, the panel(s) ends up looking really wavy, The body man and I had to work our asses off to get my car as close to straight as possible. I can see how that and an engine ovehaul might make you want to wash your hands of it. |
