Hi All,
I have an lm7 and a t56 that I am planning to swap into something fun. I really like the styling of the S30's and I have been looking locally for one. I just came back from seeing this car.
The Good
Frame Rails Replaced
Floorboards Replaced
New Air Dam (Fiberglass)
Custom Leather Seats Red & Black
Flared fenders (fiberglass)
Whale Tail (Fiberglass, not so sold on this)
car and trans is out of car (not sure if this is good or not)
engine compartment looked almost completely free of rust
The Bad
Owner had it painted and it is chipping and cracking in numerous places. Looks very poorly done
There is a pile of expanding foam type insulation right where the flares were done, he says could be from the PO and the stereo system
Car has been sitting for 5 years
Rust can be see in places where it was painted and it has since chipped peeled off
dash is cracked
missing interior pieces
missing tail light sections
Generally, I can't say I trust the quality of the work that was done, aside from the seats, the paint job is horrid and fiberglass work on the dam, flares and whale tail have me suspicious. Also, I am afraid I will remove the paint to find rust in many places. Guy is asking $3500 and since I have no prior experience, just wondering what you guys think.
