Used set of steel wheels that are straight, snow tires mounted up and ready for winter.
Over the axle pipe for exhaust fresh, mufflers in good shape.
Trans fluid, Coolant, synthetic engine oil, brake fluid etc all done.
The doors has surface rust spots that were treated. The body overall is still okay, but it has driven a few miles and it shows the salt exposure.
Interior is clean, seats are comfy still.
All lights/lenses/glass is nice shape.
The engine has 500 psi compression cold. It fires instantly when -5C without block heater and runs well. It does not use oil, no leaks present. It has a slight hesitation when cold at part throttle that goes away after 2 minutes of running, only when cold start (20% throttle position-fine below that or above that).
It turns in 60+mpg consistantly when commuting highway, I have gotten 90mpg (3L/100KM) with it, it was not hard either just have to keep the speed down under 70km/h.
I have too many cars, I built this one to last as you can see from the repairs. Onatrio e test and safety included.
$3000
