The Bad:
– Stereo doesn’t work, never tried to fix it… but stereos are cheap
– Turn signals don’t work, probably just needs a relay
– Needs to have some interior trim re-installed
– No headliner
– Dash is cracked – comes with a cover
– The engine bay could use some cleaning up; zip ties holding some stuff in place and unnecessary wires
– Some rust on the undercarriage, but it’s still solid
– As mentioned above, the back arguably sits too low because the tires rub occasionally… but it’s drivable as-is.
