Vehicle Detail

I have too many projects, and with an upcoming deployment, this car needs to go. I bought it off my friend as a project, but I honestly want a 240 I don't have to smog. This car does have issues, I don't want to misrepresent this at all. The guy my buddy bought it from did some questionable shortcuts on it, I have fixed most of those. Electrical issues: Brake pedal resets radio when depressed. New Voltage Regulator, new Alternator. Voltmeter spikes in conjunction with relay under passenger seat clicking. Plastic trim creaks when car goes up a driveway. Frame rails aren't pretty. Rust at bottom of fender, wheel arches are hacked up under fender flares. Engine misfires when warm. It's either AFM or Coolant temp sensor. Haven't had time to check resistance at ECU. Enkei 92 wheels. Dash has half cap on it, seats are in great shape, headliner is perfect. Rear cargo area missing spare tire, spare tire cover, and carpet has worn spot. With that being said.... Holy cow, this car is AWESOME!!!!!!! This thing is my gateway drug to S30s!!! I want a 240 to do a V8 swap into. This car runs and drives, Just got smogged (don't ask how it passed..), tags good until next June. Every other car I have had is scared of corners, this thing just wants to go faster! I can take corners in this thing like I do on my sportbike. I leave for deployment next month, and instead of letting it sit I want it to go to someone who can enjoy it. My plan was to buy a 240 tub, and transplant the mechanicals, but like I say, I have no time. I put a waterpump, fan clutch, alternator and Voltage regulator in it. I am half tempted to pull the L-Jetronic off and throwing carbs on it, but again, no time. The misfire is fuel-related (the coil and ignition system are fine). I don't want to screw anyone over here, clear title in my hand, car is for sale locally, I have the right to end this auction early. Thanks! I will add pictures this week of the underside of the car if I can get it on the rack...
