Appearance is bone stock. Nothing cosmetic is done to it yet
The motor has about 15K on it since the rebuild and has not been abused at all. Oil has been change 5 times since the build and I have used nothing but Mobile 1, synthetic 5-W30. It was tuned on 93 pump gas and that is the only type I’ve filled it with. The swap is very clean and done right. The motor is very strong for what it is. It was dyno’d at 195.6 hp and 136.4 tq.
The interior is in good shape other than a cut on the dashboard that was there when I bought the car. Its noticeable but not bad. The exterior is still completely stock as stated above. I spent all my money on mechanics then never got around to making it look good. The car has never been in a wreck to the best of my knowledge and it is in very decent shape compared to whats out there. The worst thing about it is the hood which is bent a little. The fenders and bumper have no damage so I don’t know what happened to the hood. Other than that, just typical little scratches and dings but nothing serious.
I love this car and I’m still not convinced I want to get rid of it. The things I don’t like about it anymore is the noise and the rid stiffness. Because I still love the car and don’t have to get rid of it, I will probably only sell it if the right deal comes along.
Im asking $7000 obo and the main trade I would be interested in is a 2000-2004 Tacoma 4x4 ext. cab
(I understand I would most likely have to throw some more money in for a trade like that.)
If anyone is interested please feel free to make an offer.
Don’t have pics right now but I will try and post some soon
