How do you break one of those? And how has that thing Sat at a shop for four years without being auctioned off or considered abandoned?

 

It's a piece of shit......the thing would flex just making a U-turn.......

 

It' sat at the shop for a year while we bullshitted back and forth with parts......he wanted to get them himself is what took so long......

 

 

Wait, how much does the owner want for it and delivery? (always curious even if I'm not allowed to buy)

 

 

I've asked him on numerous occasions over the past few years.......

.......took 8 months of harassment before this thing was finally towed here.......

 

He wants to drive it.....but feels like it's a beater......

........it's only a beater cuz he beats on it..............

 

 

 

 

 

 

..............and doesn't maintain her.......

It only NEEDS a couple things to get it on the road......but he has said he wants to upgrade it a bit.....

....engine smoke pretty good on a cold start-up.....valve seals are probably toast.....I'd put T/C rods and camber plates too.......

...................maybe even a spacer to set those front wheels out a little wider....

 

Carbs could use a good cleaning/sync/adjustment along with a FULL engine tune-up.....

 

 

If it was mine I'd rip the engine out and do a full engine bay clean-out!! :devil:

 

 

 

We shall see what happens next......

I wish we lived closer together, I would just bring my 620 to you since you know what you're doing. Goddamn that car is something I want in my garage though

 

 

Thx man...

 

 

Nice to know the things I do are appreciated.......unfortunately.....

................the owner of the silver dime is not on the same page.........fucking punishing.....

 

.....I kinda expected this though.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

$1200 budget for the dime :w00t: ........I was stoked when he said that.......

..........told him we could do up the front suspension TITS......perfect lucious TITS......and fix all his small issues he was asking about.....

 

-Poly everything

-Adjustable t/c rods

-Camber plates

-wheel spacers.....so the fucking wheels look right in the fenders.....

-Alignment

-2 front tires.....wider and better than the existing ones.....

-starter

 

 

 

.....and the the other shit...

 

-ipod cable

-front air dam

-trunk carpet

-left blinker issue

-window clips??

-some chrome pieces??

-speedo cable

 

??...indicates I have no idea what he's talking about....

 

............but noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......

 

"I really wanted to get the front bumper done"

...................to  the tune of $600 or so.....or whatever it costs to get a fucked up bumper like his done right.....

 

I told him he was better off buying a good used one...........

.....AFTER THE CAR WAS ON THE FUCKING ROAD HANDLING LIKE IT SHOULD :angry:

 

 

So.........I'm patching this thing up to get it on the road.....there is no hope for this guy.....

......he'd rather have a 510 that looks good in his driveway than drive one that doesn't look so good......

 

 

F'n hipster...... :no:

 

 

 

 

 

 

......to be honest......I'm not really sure what exactly a "hipster" is........but I would assume he is one...
