So I'm driving along, taking a diff route and I see a mkIII for sale... so, I stop to look at it, the guy only wants $250 for it....
N/A, 5sp, body is in really good shape (no rust) and the interior is pretty damn nice too (burghandy). So the question becomes..... should I buy it? I know I could probably get it for $150, cuz he says its been there forever, and from the way the neighbor who I talked to by mistake, he'll probably just give it to me, not technically, but U know what I mean. I could atleast use the trans, driveshaft, and rear-end on my 7m swap in my 82, because the only thing (heh) wrong with the car is the motor is "blown-up"...
But then, after I sell the Honda...... a mkIII would be a nice DD, but how much does a 7m cost? I think Grant (oneandgone) said he had one of those also. Anyone have one for cheap and in the mid-west? I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go pick it up for one reason or another...
Anyone need any random parts? I know the hatch is basically perfect, I didn't see a single spot of rust on it, the sawblades look like they're in really good shape, Seats looked damn good also, (I also have a set in blue) Basically its a really solid body w/ crappy paint and a blown motor....
would $250 be out of the question? I know it's a pre-89, thats it....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, once again.
