moldings starting to come off drivers side rear
ooooh shiny!
small rust spots
tips rusted out, the rest of the exhaust is fine, car sat for almost 5 years in this guys garage, only a 6 month stint out doors
small scratch
the trim came off the door, i got it its kinda bent, need to take a heat gun and make it not bent
cracked windshield, just needs replacing...
so there it is! told you 56k beware! i paid 300 for it, found a motor(1980 motor, we'll make it work) for 300, gonna put the motor in tomorrow and hope i can get it running... need to also drop the fuel tank and get rid of any gas thats in there... all the electronics work, the only big deal is the lights will go up but not come back down unless i do it manually... this car is awesome

Are you putting in that red V-8 engine block into it?
If not, it's sitting too close to the RX. It might get infected with some American Car Cooties!!
Move that block to the back of the garage.
Great buy!!!

The "owner-sitting-in-engine-bay" pics are really popular around here

progress is going well! using a 1980 motor, replaced the water pump off the 80 with the 84( dunno why, just did it lol), replaced the Intake Manifold off the 80 with the 84, and bolted the exhaust manifold from the 84 onto it... also replaced the OMP since the one on there had no lines, replacing was much easier... should be ready to go in the car tomorrow! also took the rats nest off the 84, figured might as well use the one from the 84, its easier that way

Awsome Catch Man!
I wish I could find cars like that up here for even under 1000! They're a bitch to find in that condition around Ottawa/Toronto/Montreal area. That's why it was worth the 3g to fix mine up.

Great score! What I do with Bondo (the two part stuff) is apply it, prime it, give it a test coat of paint, and let it set out in the bright sun to season for a couple weeks. Drives out the moisture and sets the mixture. I think body shops just paint it too soon. Of course, lead is the best because of it's superior shaping and feathering, but it can be a nuisance.

ewwww, that is one skanky assed engine bay, the whole thing looks to be coated in oil, I'm used to some oil on the lower half of the engine and underside of the car, but that looks like someones been throwing oil confetti at a tickertape parade in your engine bay.
