so im back. my car has been parked for about 8 months now and my dreams are fading. i dont need cash so i am not in a hurry to sell. cash walks away with it.
when i last drove it these where the items i replaced. all items have no more than 200 miles on them.
-all items are new
-power steering belt
-alternator belt
-ac belt (needs to be recharged)
-replaced the bracket that holds the power steering pump onto the block
-installed 2g manifold
-all new hardware from RRE for manifold (copper nuts, studs, copper gasket, bolts that connect manifold to down pipe)
-Radiator
-Radiator Hoses
-Spark Plugs ( i want to say i installed NGK)
-Spark plug cables
-Rebuilt shifter (installed the rubber bushings to get rid of play in shifter, parts from mistu dealer)
-fixed exhaust leak
-Replaced Front lights.
Cons:
-rear makes a "clicking" noise when the car moves in reverse only. no noises when moving forward. I think its the rear axle bearing that i have purchased already but have not installed.
-front engine mount needs new hardware. where it mounts under the radiator one of the bolts snapped off. think the previous owner may have hit a parking block. i have both bolts and washers for the front that i bought from the dealer with receipts. you will need to tap it out.
- tags are up in February but i will have it registered if i get a interested buyer
-has the phantom no start. give it a couple minutes and it starts right up. very random.
-leaks oil from the driver side never really pin pointed where this is coming from. i think its the oil pump.
-valve cover has a tiny crack on top where the spark plug cables go (i have a replacement but it is currently not installed)
-Exterior is real nice. i would say 8 1/2 to 9 out of 10
-interior is a good 7. the only reason that i say 7 is the headliner is sagging. typical lol. all the plastics are in place and seats are in good condition.
-i would change the wheels and tires
all in all i am getting rid of this because i have too many projects that i am juggling and i cant dedicate any time to this one. i love my DSM but we must part. i drove this car from Paramount to Anaheim everyday for about 3 months before i parked it. this is a ideal project car with very high hopes of being driven daily. at the worst it would make a awesome parts car.
you would need to buy it complete and part out on your own. cant part out where i live sorry guys. feel free to PM me any offers. be reasonable please. you can ask any questions on this thread and i will gladly answer to the best of my ability.
i bought the car for 2000 last feburary. make me a offer.Before changes
After changes
