I just picked my 96 up about 2 weeks ago off of Craigslist. It was a screaming deal and couldn't pass it up.
I'm not going to lie, originally I was just going to clean it up a bit and flip it.
But.. After driving it a bit and feeling how tight the engine/trans and suspension are I don't want to give her up.
First step was a full inspection to find all the pre winter fixes.
1. New tires and wheels. (Done)
2. New shocks, spring hangers and maybe a lift.
3. Fix the Fuel gage.
4. Body and paint.
Everything else works or is in spec to be safe on the road.
Here's a quick before and after from this weekend's detail session.
Thanks for all the help you've provided and more in the future.
