Vehicle Detail
Let me start with, This is for repair, If you are looking for a car without rust,dents bondo,patches,oil leaks, STOP! If you are looking for a Rhino Liner sprayed Green Thing... continue, When I bought this car years ago it was in rough shape, ugly bumpers, seats and paint, the floor boards were rusted, with plywood bolted down, I took them out and cut thicker ones, new brake lines to rear seats, mounted some nice leather seats from a Durango (front driver Electric) the lower inside is patched with alum. new carpet, inside is painted with same rhino paint. There was very Ugly bumpers on it, front was wielded to body, I cut them off and made the bumpers you see, The top is less than two years old, one little snag, new tires in front, good used rear,hub caps have few dents, I have the window frames but not the plastic window, I also have a few brake parts, (lines, hubs) There is about three coats on it but still has a few thin spots (especially under hood) The steering works but needs attention, engine leaks oil, 3rd 4th slips. I made the mistake of painted the hubs, then installing tires, and not letting paint cure, while driving down the road (thank god I slowed down to 25mph) as the rear tire fell off, of coarse the car went up before it came down! breaking the motor mounts and bending the fork, I have the motor mounts that will go with car. With a little work you can have a fun car to cruse around The car has not been started in over a year, Please look at the pictures and ask me if you need a picture or questions. The mileage shows 49000 but I would say that it's NOT correct I am sure I forgot to list some things (good and bad) so this is for sale as is. Buyer is to set up pick up. can hold for couple months if needed as long as its paid for. I would perfer cash upon pick up. Thank you for looking and Happy Holidays.
