GRMers get the stock wheels included, with Miata sized re71's mounted. The short tires move the gearing in a good direction for autoX and this car is absolutely the most fun you can have in HStreet! If you tell me you are taking the car back to the Challenge, we can negotiate price and split receipts to keep it eligible.

I have an irrational want, and zero room or use for this car. At least you're far away!

I've driven this exact car, and it is very solid for its age.  I know that between gumby taking car of its issues and simply being driven hard and regularly, it should be good to go for whoever buys it.

Is there a build thread here for this? 
 

What is the rust situation? 
(saw in face book ad "very little rust" just wonder where it has rust)

Part build thread, part stream of consciousness, SHO stuff is buried in here:

The only speakable rust is an odd, localized hole in each rear door jamb dogleg panel. Rockers and pinchwelds are still intact and solid behind the body cladding

I will also vouch for this.  Although I didn't put the car in the air, from crawling underneath, it's remarkably non-crusty.  I was very surprised to pop open the back doors and see those holes.
