This may be the first time one of my kits has been resold, with a car or otherwise - cool to see.
Car looks good rust-wise, good luck with sale!

I sold this car to Zack last year. The car is a very honest Arizona and California car. I bought it from the daughter of the original owner. She took very good care of the car and had service records to prove it. I only sold the car because it was too nice and original to cut up. My grand plan was an engine swap which I have almost completed on a 524TD . You won't be disappointed by this car

I have lowered the price to $4,500 to hopefully generate more interest.

Since the original post, I have installed Style 29 wheels with new Continental SureContact tires. The excessive steering play has been fixed. Steering box mount is not broken, I just failed to properly torque the ball joints :shock: . I removed the insulation in the trunk, which was moldy due to the water leak, but thankfully no rust except on the fuel tank cover/access panel. I cleaned the engine bay and found one rust hole under the hood on the fresh air vent thing. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you!
