TOTAL TALLY:
3 contractor bags worth of garbage
one good soccer ball
an ancient textbook, learning language
one bottle of Belgian beer
stolen office supplies, including type writer ribbon
a cheap capgun of some kind
$15 in change, not kept due to semen-esque coating
1 kirby bag worth of dust
12 french fries, container located not far away
how the fuck do i make this car not bad?
post a picture of the whole car
wait
just keep cleaning it as best you can. as long as it runs, you got a bargain.
Removing all that shit probably increased MPG by 2 and made it half a second faster to 60.
Get carpet shampoo and a shop vac for fabric. Off brand magic erasers for all other surfaces.
Godspeed you poor bastard.
3 seconds total with the new sparkplugs
That which does not kill you, makes you stronger OP.
i guess the new gaskets and hoses helped too
help pulling dents?
if you stop by i'll give you the beer i found in the back
those dents don't look too bad.
try a "pick a part" place for all those missing interior panels
I can only guess at how well he maintained the engine. If I were you, I'd check the oil and look at the state of the coolant and the brake fluid.
I bet it needs an oil change.
Is it a manuel or an autotragic, OP?
Autotragic based on the upper right of the cupholder photo
Normally I'd be disappointed but for 1$, I don't blame him
he did a good job on the oil and air filter. all the regular maintenance shit was good. everything else was trash. the shocks were shot, you could literally feel the road, the hoses and gaskets were stone, and the cylinders would miss until it cycled up.
truly it was "full stock"
it is auto but i got a Manuel out of an 05 i found at the heap
The most disgusting thing on this car is the automatic transmission.
Welcome to the club!
1zz or 2zz?
If 1zz and auto throw it away
1zz but i got a new manual if you read
it's literally covered in gunk
Not as disgusting as an automatic in a rev happy but underpowered engine
i figure if i increase air intake it'll make up for it
help plz
Is the engine light on? Misfires should've set some sort of code.
Did you get the title from your uncle on the car? Make sure you get that from him before his ex finds out.
no misfires since oil stopped seeping in through the gaskets
taken care of
good luck m8 hope you can clean it up nice. Just don't get carried away and spend more on it than you could buy a nice one for.
This, this is a good thread
op here
love the back profile
approve
you're a good guy op, keep restoring your shit box
you've just got a excuse for tyte lightweight mods, yo
you're the guy from that thread who has +150k miles on it?
Pour a pot of boiling water on the dent and try pulling it with a toilet plunger or strong suction cup, you might be surprised.
Youre doing gods work son
I'm kinda jealous you get to work on this POS and make it into a fun little DD with a manual swap and make it a cheap eBay special
Wish this was my 1st car
Can't wait to see how this car progresses

>those hood wings
what do you expect for one fucking dollar?
fucking phoneposter
>$15 in change, not kept due to semen-esque coating
Wtf do you mean by this? Did you throw money in the trash? Bring it to the bank nigger.
blew it on lottos, it's 711's problem now
only about $15 was accepted, there was probably like $30 in there. the other change had formed some sort of cobblestone with the receipts and that just went in the trash
gunna tear out the carpet soon
probably gunna loose 20 pounds worth of dirt alone will post later
nigga pick that shit out
i'm not black or jewish
i made some of it back on the lottos it's fine

Found the poorfag who thinks debt is inherently bad and saves a pile of money instead of investing in the market.
Pull the seats out and take em to the carwash. Rent a carpet cleaner and steam clean the interior. Pull out any trim you can and again use car wash. Etc
Good way to dry shit out is roll the windows down a few inches, turn on the heat and a/c at the same time, full blast, and just let it run for like five hours. Let the seats drip dry for a while first, obviously.
