What would you do?
What would you guys do, I got an 87 base 5speed
I bought the car for 1200 (they asked 1500)
The throw out barring is noisy and worn, but clutch still engages fine, I bought a clutch, but it’s not in
So far, i have bought all this, and I still can’t drive it
180 for clutch
70 for new battery
120 for alternator (died on Easter)
90 for fixing water pump/thermostat housing, broke while replacing thermostat
80 for front tires, bad because of weather rot
500!! For damn egsaust (mother was involved, no straight pipe hear)
misc. 200 in shop fee's because parents think I am nuts for saying I am going to need a rebuild (over heats and blows all coolant out of system) so they keep having me send it to mechanic, who does not know what is wrong, and wont take any more of my money because he cant figure out what’s wrong with it
If I sell it quickly and make enough money, there is is a 87 GXL, lowered with full egsaust and intake for 1500 with 115k on it, there asking 1800, but its been sitting a while so I might be able to get it for lower
Now, what would you do?
(all spell checked and such)
