could use the extra cash in the bank but i know the situation is pretty much the same for everyone else too. Just thought i'd toss this up, JUST in case. If anything, you guys can see how "dry" the bird really is.

A few preliminary questions:
-- Any fluid leaks?
-- Any rust on the vehicle anywhere?
-- Does the air blow cold? Has it been converted?
-- Does the transmission shift smoothly and appropriately?
-- Has the transmission fluid been flushed?
-- How would you, in your opinion, rate the paint?
-- Does the exterior have dings / dents / scratches?
-- Are there cracks in the dash (especially the dashtop)?
-- Does the interior have tears or fading?
Thank you.
Any fluid leaks? needs a trans pan gasket, it seeps. needs a timing cover seal.
Any rust on the vehicle anywhere? zero. the pictures speak for themselves.
Does the air blow cold? Has it been converted? a/c has been removed, all parts were saved. it needed a charge, at the very least, when i got so i pulled it off.
Does the transmission shift smoothly and appropriately? trans works great
Has the transmission fluid been flushed? i havent flushed it. fluid looks good.
How would you, in your opinion, rate the paint? front clip needs repainted, its not the original sheetmetal up front. The rest of the car is original paint in good shape.
Does the exterior have dings / dents / scratches? no dings or dents, just a few light scuffs or scratches on the clear coat. not visible until you are right up on it.
Are there cracks in the dash (especially the dashtop)? dashtop, right in front of the driver. the only cracks. again, view the photobucket link
Does the interior have tears or fading? aside from the dashpad, the interior is mint. view the pictures!
Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it.
I will continue to look at the pictures and take it from there.
Again, my thanks.
no problem. if you need pictures of any other areas, just let me know and i will snap a few.

I have to say, that is a pretty car. I was never a fan of the "4 eyed cars", but lately I've been seeing quite a few that I like. Someone definately put in the wrench time, nice job.
Thanks for the compliment.
Just so ya know, I'm sometimes slow at pondering.
I don't always think fast.
No problem, its all good.
Well if I can get back to work soon I will jump on this thing....
Noooooooooo.
Don't do that.
You'll make dents in it!
