Following up on yesterday's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , feast your eyes, Oppo:

It ran.... just in a different and less convenient way! Unfortunately the engine work required is outside our capabilities right now, even at the crazy low price, and my housemates may have killed us for dragging home another car. Fare thee well, Hillbilly Deluxe, (as was painted across the decklid) we'll never see another one like you.

You'll only learn how to do that cool engine work if you actually attempt it :)

Awesome! Imagine driving that through some hick-town.

This is like $800 on CL right? I've seen it a few times on there and was just as confused each time.

Yea, unfortunately the lack of space/money/time is more of a limiting factor than the actual skills, and my friends with the engine lift and garage space are already rebuilding a truck engine right now.

That is begging for this to be painted on it.

Its mostly the space aspect that the problem right now. Can't really work on a car on the street.

After dating a guy with a massive iron cross tattoo for a few years, I think I've seen enough of them for the rest of my life :P

Hot damn. Engine work and a flat black paint job and you could have a halfway decent car for that price.

I guess that makes sense. But there is no quasi white supremacist angle to it. They did a fairly good job even used similar shades to NATO so I would finish the German tank look with the symbol of the Bundesheer.

Yeah I spotted that one a few times... is it for sale again?

Yes, unless CrzRsn has a sudden change of heart and we go drag it back home.

I'm checking with my E30 friends. If they pass, I'll let you know.

Roger that, and you may be on the wrong side of the continent, anywhere. Where is there still snow on the ground?

Link to CL ad, and whats up with it?

If his friends with more resources pass on it, we'll post the link. Definitely needs a starter (had to bump start it), it wouldn't rev over 2k, needs O2 sensor, new clutch, and undiagnosed upper end work of unspecified difficulty.

Thats an old picture. We're in the mid-west.

The next thing you should consider buying is a house with four garage spaces.

Hell, it's Detroit, buying a house can be cheaper than the Mustang I'm buying next year.
