Diligence and a little work = great car
1 of 1 found this helpful Fourteen years have passed since this car was new. With 64,676 original miles on it, it seemed to be a mixed bag. Sure, it'd be relatively low in overall wear and tear mechanically as long as that wasn't the reason it sat a lot. The downside is that there are quite a few issues that come with a vehicle that isn't driven enough.
As long as you're willing to address with your time and or money the things that will need to be done to make it a daily driver again, such a car can be brought back. Seals dry out (and then leak); interior degradation may occur (falling headliner, mold, grunge); paint may suffer from falling detritus from being parked under a tree, or the acids in bird droppings may cause pitting in the paint; rubber (tires, hoses, belts) breaks down and dry rots; plastics become brittle under the hood and inside the interior; electronics can go bad from repeated summers and winters of expansion and contraction of the PCBs (printed circuit boards). If you're patient enough to address these issues (and are probably wise enough to have a real daily driver car while you work on your 'new' car) you should be in fine shape. Your reward is a car you can enjoy and show off to family and friends.
Several words of caution are warranted. Not everyone is cut out to work on cars. If you have more money than know-how or patience, you may want to seek the expertise of someone with lots of experience in automotive repair. I advise against accepting the help of a friend with a socket set that says he/she can help you out. Despite their good intentions, you may have to pay someone who has received a real paycheck for working on cars before to fix the problem that resulted from a repair gone wrong.
Second, be patient if you've bought a pleasure vehicle like mine. Take care of the core mechanical issues before you spend $2200.00 on a set of rims or combination of cat-back or other cheap exhaust or intake parts to make it loud and pretty. The average thief will gladly remove your rims overnight when you're broken down on the side of the road with a broken timing belt or seized engine. Then you're out the 'upgrade' parts and you've got a salvage-grade vehicle instead of one that would have "needed some remedial maintenance" before giving you 100,000 miles of good times. Don't be fooled with promises of 60 horsepower for $20.00 on any auction site or online catalog. Use good sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
As for my car, I've spent about $800.00 so far beyond the purchase price. I've addressed 2 minor oil leaks and spent about 70 hours 1)fixing oil leaks and 2)cleaning and reconditioning the interior for the cost of a couple of gaskets and lot of my own sweat. I got a professional to redo the headliner and sunvisors. I also had a professional outfit charge the A/C system after I diagnosed the issues (remember- I've fixed cars for a living, so I'm qualified, but yet let someone who STILL does it for a living do it!) NEVER tamper with your A/C system if you are not professionally trained- it is only ONE of many automotive systems that can severely injure or kill you.
Beyond that, I've done minor alterations to the air intake system. An aluminum elbow and GOOD quality SLP cold air kit. Next, I'll do headers and (emissions-compliant) dual exhausts. You can look up most of what you need to know by looking in online forums. Listen to the folks with experience. You'll know good experience when you hear it. Good Luck!

Great early 90s rock from Ministry
High energy thrash rock from Ministry featuring Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers... First track from this CD5 (extended play CD single) is an unedited version that has some adult language. No problem there, as long as the listener is mature enough for the material. That's for parents to decide. The second track is a slightly shorter, edited version of the title track and is fine for all audiences. I like the first track better as it rounds out the narrative character of the song. The third track, TV Song is homage to speed metal of the early 80s with sound samples; a very fun track that has adult lyrics.
I bought this new at Camelot Music in 1992. It went missing in 1997. Leave it to EBay to help you get back lost things!

High quality, great price
These are very well made pieces. Fitment is very precise and the pins are very firm and secure. Low cost and high quality.
