I'm considering buying this car. It leaks a few drops of oil when it sits overnight, the heat has been removed but he has all the parts -- i'll put it back on.
Scroll down for all pics. Please opine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)  |

I see red flags. The clutch cable is "bailing wired" to the trans. That could leave you stranded. I don't think the location of the fuel pump is right. Shouldn't it be on the lower firewall? Rust (or shotty repair) above the heater tube, where the oil cooler lines are run. The suspension ear looks welded.

Yes -- suspension ears (both) were welded by Racer Chris, probably the most solid part of the car. As for the clutch cable, I'm not familiar with what it *should* look like...but I do know I don't like being stranded!! |

It's moved out of the way because of the headers. It's still VERY close to the headers so heat is an issue ... If you had stock heat exchangers on that car, the clutch cable would be a straight shot forward. Currently, it's bend upwards with bail-wire to clear the headers ...
