Got it cheap as it needs some tlc before it will be usable.
The issue the seller cited was a broken serpentine belt that almost broke the timing belt. I suspect it may have jumped 1 tooth, but looks as if it could be timed properly. The owner knew enough not to run it with the TB in this condition...
There are some other problems as well. The back window had leaked at some point and created a science project in the rear seats. They "fixed it" this way...
This is an easy fix. I get a new top for my manual cabriolet and put that top on this car.
I need to likely remove the entire interior and clean like crazy. Ill probably replace the seats completely if I can find some that work. The back seats look like this but were covered up in the photos they sent. They clearly need replacing...
I have found two full sets of seats on Car-Part.com - one is black leather about 10 minutes from me and another is tan up near Canton Ohio - a full day back and forth.
I wonder how black seats would look with tan carpet.
Also, the car has been resprayed very poorly. It used to be green (like my other 94 cab) but has been painted black. Someone put some kind of can on the hood and it ate through the black and left a stream of original green somehow. Ill need to deal with that too. They also debadged the rear and added some kind of spoiler (not to mention the window screen around the headlights)
This is weird too. The instrument cluster is different than my other 94 Cab...
"New"
"old"
Lastly the radiator nipple broke off where the overflow bottle should connect to it. Can that be JB Welded?
My current fleet...
