Doesn't look like it needs too much TLC. It's going to be interesting to see where the bidding goes on this one. :-)

I'll bid.... one meeeeelion dollars!
I agree, looks like an easy fixer as long it's not too rotted. He should have posted pictures/video of the rockers, under the seats, and inside the rear wheel wells. I may have to send him a message.

Sadly a very neglected car. It needs total restoration, and correct engine. It lists 3 cylinder engine, but he says he installed 13B in it (Picture also shows 2 rotor, not 3). It might be difficult to find a correct Windshield.

I seriously doubt anyone thought it was a 20B...
Any local glass shop could replace the windshield.

Narly shifter......

Of course any local glass shop can install a windshield. The Problem would be finding the correct windshield. Some tint/shade combinations are very hard to find. Just another item to account for, as if there are not enough already.

Yeah windshields can be pricey and real hard to find. Local glass shops usually have some type of windshield, but if u need a less common tint and shade, good luck. Last one I got took 2 weeks to find and cost almost $400 before installation, and that was for a S3 which should have been easier.

That thing is restorable and could be worse, but still a small money pit. $1,099 current bid to buy, and another $30k to restore. It probably needs every single bushing and rubber hose replaced, and all wiring as well. It's missing the wheels and a shitload of items from the body and engine compartment, and doesn't even have the original engine at all. Why the hell would anyone put that bastard 13B in such a rare car? And what a hack job! Also looks like it was painted a different color by some maaco cowboy, so god knows what's lurking under the surface. The fact he didn't bother to wash it or vacuum the carpets says a lot about the current owner. Talk about falling into the wrong hands. (3 cyl = 3 brain cells, lol) Someone please buy it before it suffers any more damage.
