Why is it sunny? because he said it's from CA and it's getting shipped next week. which means those are probably pics from the seller in CA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy PS: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

Brake fluid needs flushing .... looks a tad dark.
But It's yellow so it's fast and needs nothing. |

BTW, it looks as though the only rust is in the rear trunk due to leaky taillights, and the battery tray has some rust. Hellhole look solid! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

OK, i'll bite. it needs a combo gauge with an oil temp gauge in place of the brake flasher..... (no silver button)

Love these little cars! Group: Members Posts: 2,443 Joined: 11-June 05 From: Port Townsend, WA Member No.: 4,253 Region Association: None |
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Nice Car!...Better start reading-up on the L-Jet you have for your FI...great system! Watch out for vaccum leaks their your worst enemy...especially the easlily overlooked seal under the oil cap.
Oh, by the way...learn the fundamental differences between the d-jet (what most everyone else has for their FI) and the l-jet FI it will save you a lot of headaches. I might as well just say it....no the vaccumm line that is just dangling off your dizzy really doesn't go anywhere. Now it's time to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Awesome car, good luck.
I would suggest seat upholstery...world upholstery has full kits, so does AA. I would also suggest that after you get the car, replace the battery with an optima sealed battery that will not leak acid.. Or, put an acid mat under the existing battery. Prior to either of those, remove the battery, wash the area with a solution of baking soda and water...dry with rags. The baking soda will neutralise the battery acid. Rich |
