Mine was in great shape as far as the interior, chasis, and body were concerned but the engine bay was a mess. I bought the car off of a buddy that admits he's not mechanical and never took care of the thing... anyhow one day he blew a big ol hole in the block and we worked out a deal where as I would by the car from him for $600 since it had a lot of miles and needed a new motor.
The worst thing besides the motor was that it was an automatic and the interior was covered in cigarette ash. I quickly converted that shit to manual and gutted the interior to clean it out... I litterally stripped the seats down to its metal/foam subframe and ran the seat covers through the wash... she looks great now and you would never know that a smoker drove it.
Thank God there was no ghetto shit done to it though.:thumbup:
Ps... check the link in my sig for my site and you can see the before of my car... the picture doesn't do it justice though... everything in the bay was coated with oil that looked much like tar
