This is my project car/daily. I bought it back in January 2018 with a trans that was spewing fluid everywhere; I put a JY trans with 104,000 in it and have been driving it.

 

new:

flex discs

trans pan

exhaust from downpipe back

front wheel beatings

front control arms

Shocks/struts

valve cover gasket

trans modulator

 

bad:

leaks a tiny bit of trans fluid still

leaks a little engine oil

paint is thin

drivers front fender has a dent

front air dam is broken

windshield has a crack

rear window is delaminating

inner c panel covers are missing

drivers seat is worn through on the bolster from sliding in I would guess

 

ive done 20,000 miles with this from April to August of 2018 then I was given a company vehicle and a new job and just don’t have time to work on it or drive it for that matter.  $3800 or trade for $ and something else weird? Located in Findlay, OH


 

It’ll be on the 16x7/8 Porsche D90s with four new tires.

The car was sold new in Indy area and lived there it’s entire life till I bought it. My kids would love that but with three kids and a two seater someone will always be happy and two won’t be.

We have a similar issue in my house. I am working on an '87 Tbird to rectify the situation. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, this car is no cream puff; it is a really good driver/cruiser and a neat palette to make your own art. If it doesn’t sell I will probably wrap it this spring and possibly amg kit it.

Is that a rust thing? I’ve been over it with a fine tooth comb and found a spot of grot in the front fender behind the plastics.

Yes, its it's a personal thing for me. No old vehicles from places like that.

I understand that, I hate rust! This thing has been a joy to work on, everything comes apart well and goes back together well.

 

id like to trade for cash or something auto-x-able if possible. I don’t really have time to build something so trading would be great.

Bump, I can deliver it from Louisville to Harrisburg to Youngstown to Toledo and all point between as long as it’s paid for.

You're killin' me, smalls.  My house is about 35 minutes north of Youngstown, which I won't be at until the 11th of May, and I'm moving to Florida two weeks after. How do you think it'd fare? Does the A/C work?

In reply to Jordan Rimpela :

I recharged the ac in the spring and it worked for me last year, I put 20,000 miles on it between April and August so it’s a solid driver.

 

edit: it needs a carrier bearing as well. Not shot just worn for now

Could it be the carrier bearing? Probably not, but whether that or a U-Joint shouldn't be much to fix. I assume it's dependent on driveshaft rotation and clangs about when stationary, right? Do you by chance have any pics of the interior?

MB use flex joints and they were both replaced before I put it in use last spring. The noise is worse in reverse and only shows itself over 45 going forward. 

 

That’s  from when I drug it home

Ah, I had W126 on the brain. Wait, did my 126 have a carrier bearing? I thought it did. I'm losing my mind being away from cars for the past 8 months. Regardless, I'll send you an email, as I am still overseas. 

 

Edit: welp, there's something up with my account, so you'll have to email me. It's my first name at grassrootsmotorsports dot com.

New Years bump, still sitting in the same place. Drive it here and there but not nearly enough.

Another bump, it's been a minute but I don't really use it much and I'm sure someone else would. The carrier bearing still has play and will need replaced at some point.
