    nope...both clean. Only rust spots are small, and on the top where the rear quarter meets the roof.

    the rear shocks are worn out and the rear wheel bearing is grinding. I would REALLY like to see this car leave on a flat bed or trailer if at all possible, just so someone doesn't drive away and have the wheel bearing fall apart and lose a wheel. I will post some more pics tomorrow, today is my hell day where I am working both jobs, so please bear with me!

    some pics...



    a little rot on the hatch


    and some on the top of the driver's rear quarter/roof




    driver's seat shows some wear, but no rips. I guess my fat ass sitting in it for 25K miles put a little wear on 'em






    not the cleanest...but not bad

    Under car shots.. Like to see rockers. Mechanically all good? other than the bearings and shocks.

    NP, I would honestly rather have this go for someone who wants to swap the VR into something else.



    receipt for the the newer motor swap...
