86 2.9/5sp with a mitsu trans and 3.45 rear.
Its pretty solid, frame/shackles etc are excellent. Drivers floorpan was replaced. This is the only spot im concerned a bit with...
Its much more solid bodywise/floorwise then my ranger.
It needs brake work, it stops but pedal is soft. Rear hatch is hitting the bumper for some reason? The headliner has some creative fixing. The engine runs....but its flooding out....bad. But the 2 minutes i heard it run it sounded good and strong. Coolant is full lol.
Kid was 17, said he drove it 3 hours home. Then it started running shitty. He thought it needed a rebuild. Hiss face kinda drooped when i told him it was too much fuel and probably a sensor/regulator issue.
Has a new fuel tank, gauges work....it shifts good from 2hi to 4hi but i couldnt get 4 low....but i didnt try very hard.
Im hoping to fix the brakes/flooding and DD it and patch it up as i go. Probably wheel it a bit. It needs new rear springs...its saggy in the ass.
Got it for 1000 bucks.
What do yall think? Score? Or was i an idiot?
