Was offered a primered '98 Civic coupe, I do applaud for reading at least, and what looked like an early 80's C10 stepside today. My brother just mentioned something about adding how I'd add cash for the right trade, but I know that'd just lead to people ignoring what I say yet again and I'll get a bunch of people with 2000's sedans and trucks wanting to trade along with me adding x amount of money... I swear I've actually have had more people offering to trade things I don't want since I've added specifically what I'd trade for. What's also frustrating is the majority of the trades have been of equivocal value but the ones that want to buy it have been lowballers. I'm about to the point of saying screw it and removing the ad and it'll just sit until I find a transmission to put into it.

Quick update from the body shop:

They've already started tearing into the car and they found a pretty nasty problem area in the rear from previous owner(s)




Apparently the rust here is pretty bad and is pretty thorough. They're gonna patch it up as much as possible, but to fix it, I would pretty much have to replace the rear end of the car. :\

Other than that, the hood and fenders are getting cleaned up.




Hopefully more good news coming soon aside from that rust.

Civic coupe might not be bad if it was a 5 speed. Seriously Box a car that runs is better than something just sitting there rotting away.

It's a 5-speed, but it's in black primer as are the cheap aftermarket rims. The trim and calipers are bright blue along with the rest of the interior pieces though... Had it been a stock car or tastefully modified I would've gone for it, but just Hell no. Besides the Firebird isn't rotting away any faster than it would otherwise, I go out and start it and move it around often. I have my brother's Durango to use that sits around otherwise, so I'm not going to trade for something I don't even remotely like just to get rid of it. If I could ever find another short-tail TH350 at least I could make it operational again and would just keep it.

Today my Deuce dropped a deuce. :badjoke:




:badpicture:

Tomorrow, swapping the trans to the new engine as well as a few accessories then hopefully giving this car a 5S enema.

DO YOU JUST HAVE ONE OF EACH 2 DOOR TOYOTA? DOES A SOLORA POP UP NEXT?

Or a paseo

Oh ****, I forgot about the Paseo. Those are bad ass little beer cans!

Well there's also the Lexus SC, certain generations of the Corolla, the Tercel "coupe", and the Echo "coupe" as well along with the aforementioned and probably a few more. There was also the Camry "coupe" in the mid 90's before the Solara, so he has a ways to go.

The Deuce isn't even mine, just fixing it for a friend. Found some problem areas though. Looks like the previous owner pushed the 5S for everything it had.

1MZ swap!

Speaking of, I'd love to have a 1MZ SW20. Maybe one of these days someone will buy the Firebird.

It's got speed holes!

bought a truxedo luggage and a jackrrabit for the tundra today.

Today I had someone bother me asking if I had parts for sale, I quit.

that mr2 has a little cancer

Yea I noticed that too, for some reason I put that as higher priority than it running or not.

Removed CL listing, I need a break from the onslaught. Plus I figure I should take new pictures at this point, may shorten the description as well but I don't know where I really can without omitting things I think are important. Part of me just want to be like "Rebuilt 350, trans stopped moving forwards. Sell or trade ONLY for sports cars or muscle cars with manual transmission." Surely I can't be the only one out there that like muscle cars and imports but hates trucks..

Refreshed listing with new pics, wooo...

pace edwards Jackrabbit...

Now you can keep stuff dry.

Was offered a '78 Subaru BRAT or a '73 VW Beetle earlier, tempting but I don't know the first thing about either one. From looking around quickly it seems some major wear and tear items for the BRAT are hard to find/non-existent. Shame since they look kinda cool. I've always liked the old Beetles and it seems parts are plentiful and cheap, so I'd be more inclined towards it. I'm really just tired of old car crap though.

Get beetle, transplant fuel injected turbo flat four from Porsche, die in a horrible crash at 190MPH, win!
