as topic says, its an 86 in great condition!
the bad: it needs to be flushed big time!!! lol, when i got it i was told it over heats, but when i got warm i found the coolent to be like 95% water!!! so i added coolent but hten a line blew so that needs to be replaced. it might need a heater core too, but a good flush should clear everything up!!
the temp gauge doesnt work, i went to checkers and got a cheapo one for like $30 but i took it back lol.
The good: the body is AWSOME!!! its a little faded though, but otherwise mint!! there is a rust spot on the hatch but that is it! underbody looks great too from what i saw!
everything works (exept heat goes in and out but like i said, flush should take care of that) but ac is removed (i didnt do it!! lol)
Car runs STRONG!! even though i was told it was on its last leg. i think the previous owner believed that cause the intake pipe came off so the engine was getting more air than the TPS was reading and it finaly poped off while i was driving it and it would not idle lol but it is fixed now and runs great!
i also put a switch in for the fuel pump cause i was told that it floods out on start up, but ive only had to use it once! and that was casue of something i did lol.
i am askin 1800 obo
i will get the milage up soon!
and i will have the hose replaced soon!

n/m, upon further analyis i found the coolent (well watter) is very milky, meaning its mixing with oil so there is a bad seal in the motor somewhere. an dthats causeing the system to exede the .9 bar (and 1.3 bar of my TIIs GReddy rad cap) of the rad cap which is responsible for the over flow tank squirting out!!
so yean, the motor needs a rebuild! so, i think im gunna keep it an dplay with it a little bit

I had figured out the ending before he posted it, so it was a bit anti-climactic for me.
