Okay, the story on this car. I had bought a truck off a lady in my small little town for $500 and it was in pretty good condition but it was HORRID on gas. I decided to go back to school and would have to travel over two hours to get back home so I decided to trade it in and try to find a small car and went to a used car dealership and saw this little beauty. It was an as is special and they wanted $1000 for it due to the rocker pannels and some brake work that was needed, it is not inspectable. So I offered to give a streight trade for my truck and they took it (I was kinda getting screwed on the deal due to the KBB value was $2,800 in fair condition and it was in good condition with 83k miles.) BUT I needed a car with good gas milage so I went with the deal and come to find out I wasn't able to get into school so I am once again stuck in this little town in northern NH for another few months. I get bored easily so I need to keep myself busy and with the lack of entertainment around here I went searching the internet to find a project. I stumbled upon a couple of your pages while I was just looking for some new struts (one of rear struts is blown) and got very turned on to the potential of this little ghostly geo. I have decided to turn this negative string of events into a possative one!
Here are some of the shots before any work is done to it. I particularly like the spray painted rusty rims and rotted out rocker panels ;)
Thats what road salt does when not cleaned off properly...
