BUT YOUR NOT GONNA GET THEM YET! I lost my phone data cable

I just got back from Yorba Linda @ 2am but man I am F*CKING excited, the car is in UNBELIEVEBLE shape, ITS EXACTLY LIKE MINE EXCEPT FOR POWER LOCKS, CRUISE CONTROL AND POWER HATCH

the interior is in GOOD shape sun visor look BRAND NEW, Headliner, only a couple dot size stains, THATS IT, the seats are FIRM, UNTORN and UNFADED.

the car is a 5.0 5-spd yes 5-SPD,

NOT AUTO!!! THE ENGINE EVEN CRANKED AFTER 4 YEARS SITTING!!!(havent even tried starting it, spark plugs are loose and no fuel), I checked under the car, even the factory H-pipe was there, I checked the torque boxes also, LOOKED BRAND NEW!!!

Body is in good shape too! theres a dent in the drivers side(IT CAME WITH A EXTRA CLEAN DOOR!) and the bumper, hood and fender were replace with a lx donor(IT CAMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BUMPER AND IT LOOKS F*CKING NEW!!! AND THE ORIGINAL HOOD TOO(but that doesnt look THAT new, lol!!!!) Hatch was also replace but I could see why, the original had started to rust, even though it was just some surface rust(I couldnt take that hatch though, if anybody wants it in the LA area I can arrange for you to pick it up)

Overall for $200 bucks I am VERY satisfied with the car, hell, the front GT bumper alone costs $400+ dollars[&:]

SONAVITCH, I WISH I COULD GET PICS UP!@^(@#$%@[:@][:@][:@]

and anyway, what is a good tune up list for a new(old)car?

*spark plugs
*fuel fillter
*fuel pump
*air filter
*engine oil
*raditor coolant
*????

Congrats on the find. Cant wait to see it. I'm also curious of your plans for her.

And pretty much every fluid int he car, be sure to drain. NOW, post up some pics when you can !

88BlueGT · 10-20-2006, 03:52 PM

Thats awsome bro! Thank god I didnt find that car or I might have three sitting in my driveway [8D] Anyway, the tuneup list from aode looked pretty good. Cant think of anything I would add... But if you really get down and dirty in the bay Im sure there are certain things that could use replacing...

Also, check the tires and make sure that they are not dry rotted from sitting for so long.
