Thank you guys. Very helpful tips for sure.

Pick 2 of this for $100 with some curb damage. Will fix them back to oem specs. Anyone know the color code or a close paint i can use?Any ideas or suggestions?

Yeah right, it does get kind of old really quick. Specially that salt everywhere. 😟
Been doing some minor cosmetic/maintenance stuff to it:
-replaced both horns(high pitch horn inop)
-replaced driver side mirror (scuffed/scratched)
-replaced steering wheel(old was a bit to worn and scuffed)
-replaced spark plugs
​​​​​​-replaced rear license plate bracket assembly (old one was cracket on the left side)
All parts in almost perfect condition from another donor.


I'm still looking for 2 type-s wheels, any condition. Pm me

Due to several failed attempts to sell it, I decided to keep it. Will park her and get back on it right after recovering from surgery .
Till then, good luck and happy motoring. Old intake manifold all gunked up.power washed before re-assembly.
Found EGR port partly clogged up. Port unclogged.
Had some paint left from the caliper job... so
