THE BAD:
One pushrod seal has a very slow leak, i will provide a full seal kit for the engine.
Few minor spots of rust on pass. door and underside that i have covered but, will eventually show again.
Rear running lights not wired up
Front head lights currently wired to always on
Rear turns not wired up
No horn
4-1 header, no exhaust (very loud) not sure if thats a bad to me but maybe to you
Inside paint is old
rock chip in front windscreen
not repainted inside front bonnet
ebrake doesnt work
rear driverside brake cable needs replacing
All things aside, I drive this car all over town every weekend. Ive driven it to work 25 miles away, all highway several times and made several 2+hr trips. Made it to h2o and back without a single issue. Shes a champ. Drives fantastic. Took 2nd at Vagfair 2013, shes a serious show stopper and i get waves, smiles, neck turns all over town. Love this car to death.
6k, trades considered

OLD DASH PAD I will include if you want to put it back on
