The Good:
Reached a high of 32 MPG with an average of 29 MPG. Great saver on gas and the economy. The power steering system is the best I have ever driven. It is like butter turning the wheel. Heater is hot during the winter seasons. Just repainted all oil pans and valve cover chevy red. Car is pretty clean for a 1996 vehicle. Installed radio with aux, cd, and usb port. Installed subwoofers. The tires run great and suspension is just fine. No OBD 2 codes. Cleaned exhaust manifold using electricity to remove all rust and then painted with a primer (VHT black is started to flake after it was put on :(. Brand new battery. Just fixed the AC. Blows cold!
Subwoofers installed (thing bumps HARD):
2 12 inch alpine S 400wRMS speakers
2x12 enclosure
alpine 500wRMS amp
The not so swell:
The side mirrors are held on by one screw and glue. I replaced them twice and have the extra side mirrors just chilling cause these female fittings snap. However, they can hold their own. I replaced the window regulator but the driver's side window will not close correctly. If I understand correctly these cars are known for this and is how the old regulator was broken, by trying to jam it up into its place. I lubed the regulator so it slides nice just take it easy once it reaches the top. I hit a bumper on the passenger side and replaced the light bezel but left an indent on the fender (shown). Rear wheel wells were rusted. Removed rust and replaced with bondo. I did not do a perfect job but it looks ok (see pictures).
All in all, this would be a perfect first timer car or someone that would want to get into being a mechanic. I am willing to negotiate and talk prices just email me.
Thanks
