Keep or Sell?

djmtsu · 01-21-2014, 06:58 PM

Tell me what you guys think.

1986, base, 4 lug, manual everything, 103K miles. Has some 'issues'

FerociousP · 01-21-2014, 07:32 PM

4-lug is the death knell here...

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-21-2014, 07:42 PM

Gonna add 2 more options

Fix and sell

Punch Paul in the head

Just finish one car before you start another one! Hell you rarely keep cars

RETed · 01-21-2014, 08:48 PM

Say no to molded body kit pieces...

Is it parked on uneven terrain, what's the deal with the rear wheel? Doesn't quite align with the rest of the body. I'd sell it/part it - like the other guys said you have way too many projects as it is.

Fill it with Tannerite?

This one is hibernating 85 miles away. So out of sight, out of mind. Not starting on it until the Cosmo is done.

Agreed, but I bought it this way.

It is on uneven ground in the pic. It sits level.

Save that for Civics.

Geez guys, I only have one other project, and that's the Cosmo.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-22-2014, 10:34 AM

I find it humorous that you're getting more slack about unfinished projects than I am

No shit. And from people who should know not to poke the bear.

At least Bri Bri has my back.

Its a 2nd gen, burn it!

rx7 vinnie · 01-22-2014, 11:36 AM

Keep it..... One can not have too many rotaries.

even $20 worth would be enough to blow the roof off..

a single $10 bottle would send water heaters 100 yards into the atmosphere.

honestly though too much blue and wasted effort on a 4 lug n/a car. sell or burn it, tannerite is also an option.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-22-2014, 12:46 PM

You guys realize that they aren't building these cars anymore right? So a straight running car should be kept that way. The body work can be removed and it can be made into a nice car, turbo swap, whatever.... I hate when I see perfectly good cars @ the boneyard....

RETed · 01-22-2014, 01:13 PM

If it was a hardtop with no sunroof, I would definitely call it a keeper.
Because it does have a sunroof, they are a dime a dozen...

What's the difference between this base, 4-lug model and almost all the other non-turbo FC's out there?
6 hours and a suspension swap.
