Vehicle Detail
After rebuilding the front suspension with new shocks, ball joints, and bushings, the vacuum pump failed and the vehicle sat for long enough for the fuel to go stale. I replaced the vacuum pump (a $350 part) and ran into the stale fuel problem. I have a bad back, so working on a car for a day takes me out of commission for a few days, which isn't much fun.The brakes are good all the way around. This was my wife's daily driver for a couple years. As far as I can tell it just needs a battery, tires, some fresh fuel, and someone willing to replace the filters (which have already been purchased), blow the old fuel out of the system, and check for any damage or debris from the vacuum pump failure, the cam gear looked good when I replaced the pump. However, there is the chance that the vacuum pump failure damaged the engine. Vehicle does not run right now, and will need to be towed. Vehicle is on non-operation status with no back fees, Sold as is, where is. Title is clear if I can remember correctly, however it may be salvage, I'm not entirely certain. I have misplaced the title and the vehicle will be sold on a paperless title transfer form.
