Title: New DD $1200
Post by: turbo88 on October 04, 2008, 05:56:27 PM
Needed a car to get around in now that the tbird is in parts. Found this little gem on CL and it was a steal. 1994 2.3L 4 speed manual with overdrive with 330,000KM's on it which is about 186,000 miles.

Car has absoultly zero rust. They original owner owned it until 2006 and he put all highway miles on it, drove about 40miles roundtrip everyday to and from work. The second owner only owned it for 2 years, he managed a oil change place, changed all the fluids with synthetics, diff, tranny, and engine recently.

Anyways here are some pictures.

Don't worry ive got plans for it.
First thing is first im replacing the
shocks all around with KYB gas
chambers, and it needs some new rubber to.

First modification on the list will be
turbocoupe electric fan with turbo coupe
Radiator and some sort of catback exhaust.

This truck has absoultly zero options to,
no powersteering, nothing.

all i see is a steering box, idler arm, pitman arm and a center link.
Sounds a lot like worm and sector steering to me.


did you see something in the picture that made you think otherwise?

nice score man.  I had an '88 reg cab long bed w/2.3 5 spd and a '97reg cab short bed w/2.3 and 5spd (but no A/c).  I drove the '97 for 3 yrs/50,000 miles and sold it for the same price I paid for it...and probably could have got more.  Parts are cheap, they're easy to work on and are tough as can be!  I almost wish I had one of mine back instead of my '99 F-150 but I need a 1/2 ton for all the towing I do.  Good luck w/yours.
