Hello Craigslist,

As you can see, I've basically gone through all the mechanicals of the car over the winter. It's a great running and driving car at this point. The body does have some dings, dents, and scratches. There is also rust damage on the car, but it has been treated and patched. No active rust. The next phase for me was to do flares, wider wheels, front and rear spoilers, body and paint.

It's a rare car with a great swap that solves all the power and drive train rarity / aftermarket support problems with this platform. Lightweight, rear wheel drive, legendary twin cam 4 cylinder engine, 5-speed, and a LSD - it's a great package to build on.
