Car was bought March 17, 2007...
well...I'm on the way to selling my lude, so I thought I'd post some final pics on here just to leave my mark. It's not painted yet, but when I do paint it after replacing my bearings and hubs, I'll post some more pics and they'll be from an actual camera and not my cellphone. Don't get me wrong guys, I love my lude to death, but it's been giving wayy too many problems, the owner that had it before me didn't maintain it at all and just ragged on it. I've had to replace my alternator, buy a battery, all new belts and pullies, have my distributor rebuilt, buy new tires, buy a new radiator, bearings and hubs, lifters, and then pay for the labor, so I've already put in about double what I paid for the car and thhere hasn't been much progression as far as the motor or cosmetics. I have a manual 1990 Nissan 300ZX lined up for me with a newly swapped JDM VGDETT30 in it, body is in flawless condition with original paint and no wear at all in the interior, looks like it came off the lot...so I'm thinking about just taking that or buying this 98' EX with 100,000 miles on it for $1500 from my brother's job. Either way, unless I can find a good deal on a clean 4th gen or an okay 5th gen with only $3500, I'm hoping out the lude game...
