This car has had some major parts repairs in the past six to eight months. Ball Joints upper and lower, New Sway bar, Brakes Disc and Calibers left and right with new pads, Brand new Tire, Shocks and Struts, Brand new Alternator and Starter, Fan Belt and Pulley. I have invested 2,700 in the past nine months and have bought another vehicle which is an earlier model. I have not the space nor the time to continue in my restoration of this vehicle. Lately it has shown some signs of head gasket problems while running to the store and back it was running hot so I replace the thermistate . I thought it was my water pump, so I bought a new one but before replacing it I put it in the mechanic shop to find out exactly why the engine ran as if it needed a tune-up. After the mechanic notified me of the problem with my head gasket and the repair cost I decided to sale it which I was not planning on doing, but I can't afford the repair cost at this time. I knew if I sold this car from the beginning I was not going to get back the money I put into it, but lets be realistic. I admit, I was attached to this car but I can't keep throwing money into this car that I do not have at this time. I'm hoping to give someone the chance to complete what I started by selling it for parts or restoration. If I can't get what I expect I plan to keep it because I know what I put into this car. I bought this car on 4/2014 from a old lady one owner which did nothing but oil change and basic maintenance. It had 1,3100 miles on the car which means the woman didn't go nowhere compared to the mileage. So I inherited these original part replacement issues over a two year period. ( The last picture is what I planed for it to look like after I finish restoration)
