The good:
fresh strut bearings, brakes in the last year. new alternator in march. new downpipe last fall. one new front wheel bearing/hub, one new back strut. Runs good and doesn't burn much if any oil. proffessionally painted 3 or 4 years ago and still looks fairly good.
The bad:
needs some work on the floor at the driver's feet. wiper switch is acting up, needs a muffler. has a rattle in the front suspension that I suspect is a sway bar mount. Needs front control arm bushings (which I have).
The ugly: No headliner. Radio doesn't turn off, so it will kill the battery if you don't drive it every day or two or pull it out of it's connections (removable radio)
I have a big assortment of spare parts that COULD go with this car for the right price. Choice of wheels (13 or 14 inch steelies, bottlecaps, snowflakes) parts to turbo it, etc.
$800 as is or offers..... parts extra
