I picked this thing up for $450 for my girlfriend. Car has a ridiculous amount of miles on it and needs some work, but it runs better than my '92. Only rot is above the tail lights from sitting, everything else is surface rust. The car has "sitting" rust, not "driving" rust - so it's all easily fixable.


Work Already Done:

New Calipers/Pads/Rotors All Around
New Monoleaf

Stuff the car needs:

Tires
Rear Struts & Boots (Have)
Rust Repair
Front Left Wheel Stud (Have)
Alternator Bearings
Tune-Up (Have the stuff)
Track Clip For Driver's Window (Have)
Both RH Door Straps
A Little Door & Lock Lubricating
HVAC Vents (I think I have)
HVAC Selector (All bulbs burnt out)
Grill (I think I have somewhere)
Window Washer Sprayers (The little things that clip to the wiper arms)
AC Compressor (was replaced with delete pulley)

Here it is:





Busted ass grill:


Headlight overspray:


Broke ass tires:




Kid found out the hard way what happens when you don't properly torque your lug nuts. Tire took off and damaged the fender and broke off a stud:



Rust from sitting for 4 years:






Presents in the trunk:




Alternator bearing bit the dust:



Steering rack is leaking:



Interior needs cleaning:



Freaking door handles need some lubing:


God damn warping shit:



This car a A SHIT TON of miles:


Busted ass vents:

i would bet the rust on the ass end is caused by the tail pipe not being long enough, and the car sitting and idling to warm up in the winter... i see that alot around here when the tail pipes dont come past the bumpers inner edge, or is too close to it.

[Chris]

It's the "stock" exhaust, all Luminas are setup similar to that. The rot above the tail lights is because of the drip rails on the truck. If it sits long enough shit gathers on top of the tail lights and just eats it away.

OH MY!!!

and the undercarriage is clean???

I have a white euro spoiler in storage... I think.  I also have a z34 spoiler if that would be of interest...


need a part hook-up? give me a list.

[Chris]

Yeah, undercarrage only has slight surface rust. The undercarrage of my car that has 80k on it looks like it should have 230k, and this car looks like it should have 80k.

I might be interested in some parts - I have to see what I have left in the storage unit. I'd really like a 90 Euro grille - but those are very hard to come by (not broken in pieces). I'm looking at a small spoiler from a Mazda something in a j/y that might look good on it - but if it doesn't fit how much would you want for the euro/z34 spoilers? Do you have any door straps or HVAC vents?

Anything I don't have will fit in my tool-box on my next j/y visit.  LOL

give me a list. which door(s) do you need check links for?

LOL  

The j/y that's close to me just crushed a Lumina, about 10 minutes before I got there... And it's the only one they had

Both passenger side doors.

Well, I'm selling the car for $500 (what a crappy loss for owly owing it for a freaking week)... girlfriend & I broke up and I have no need for it. I've listed it a few places, but people keep trying to lowball me - nobody understands what FIRM means. I'll keep it for anything less - the body is in better condition than my '92 with 80k (minus the trunk rot issue)

How could you not forsee your relationship being bad before buying this car?

You don't see many Euro's without the spoiler.

It wasn't. She kinda got really pissed off about something stupid and that was it. She apologized for over-reacting and is very remoseful and wants to work things out, but the car is still for sale.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. I was like "A Euro without a spoiler? And there's not bondo on the trucklid where the spoiler is supposed to go? strange..."

[5speedz34]

I've seen them without spoilers but its pretty rare.

[Chris]

I should advertise it as such... "For sale, RARE 1991 Lumina Eurosport"

[5speedz34]

It looks like there's shit streaks down the driver's seat, wtf?!
