Almost all of the work was done at 182K kms.

Any comments are welcome. The paint is not great and has been touched up in many areas, but it looks good from 10 feet away. There are some issues here and there, but the car runs very well.

You mentioned that the car does have some issues. Can you elaborate on that more for me?

More pics would also be great!!!

Thanks for your interest JohnnySpeed954.

I have fixed most things I've come across with the car, but for the last couple thousand kilometers I have noticed a vibration above 100km/hr when letting off the gas. When giving it more gas the vibration goes away. I heard this may be the torque converter.

The steering wheel has some play in it. I've just ignored this with the duration I've owned the car, but would have liked to fix it.

The left turn signal doesn't cancel automatically. I believe this is very common for our older cars.

The body looks great from a relative distance. The original paint was really flaking off at the top parts exposed to the sun, so I spent a few days sanding and painting to make it look pretty decent. There is a minor dent in the driver side rear panel. The vehicle could use a paint job, but my priority has always been mechanical operation.

As I posted in the ad, I have extra hood struts and an aftermarket door pin replacement upgrade. I would install these, but it would take a couple hours and I would need an extra set of hands.

That's everything. I have spent a lot of time on this car for the very few miles I've put on it. My plan was to fix everything on it, but I have another car now and life is changing for me.

I have created a picasa photo album here:
