The Good:
- Clean Title
- Has been repainted
- 100% Stock engine and exhaust
- All suspension bushings have been replaced with polyurethane
- It's a manual rack with a/c
- Has been converted from manual windows to power windows.
- Frame rails are still in great shape and only have scratches
- Rear quarter panels are not cut.
The Bad
- Not technically 100% legal (exterior wise)
- Interior is stripped including stereo and speakers
- Seat isn't on sliders and isn't adjustable height wise and is on the skinny side (5'8"-~6" range seem to be ok)
- The car is low. Not low enough to not be drivable but low enough to get you stuck on a driveway. (mostly due to body kit)
- You will get pulled over for the rear plate losing the reflective coating.
- Hard top latches and strikers are failing
The Ugly
- Since it is/was my daily, take everywhere car, the paint that was in good condition for about 2 years is now in need of touch up.
- I do not have any of the stock parts I took off, including hardware.
- The interior is a half finished project so there is sealer missing and scratches throughout.
- Has Tein Basis suspension (comes with stock suspension as well so you can swap if need be)
- The wheels are not perfect. 1 is for sure bent
- I was planning on dropping the floor pan but I ran out of time and never got around to it...so the stock seat mount spot welds are ground down. you may want to weld them back on. They're holding but I wouldn't trust it to hold in any kind of accident.
- The Roll bar isn't quite what I wanted..
- I do not have the seat belts.
The To Do List:
- Body/Hard Top Seals.
- Hardtop Brackets or New strikers/Latches
- Wheels Bearings might be due in the rear.
- Brakes
- Wiper Cowl
Things I Am Doing Before Sale:

- Timing Belt/Water Pump and associated seals
Q and or A
