I didn't check for rust before but I checked last night and to my surprise, the rust isn't bad. There is a little rust here and there but it just looks like surface corrosion, which as suggested by another poster on my thread, I'm going to wash it down with a hose. I plan on cleaning her up a bit today as I have a day off. So far I'm happy with her. I've got a bit of a ways to go but it seems so worth it.BustedVibe wrote:congrats man, wish I could have found something with that low mileage!
is the undercarriage good? You checked for bad rust right?
She definitely needs some love. I'm working on the interior currently. I also have a recall I've gotta get done as the previous owner did not do. Today, I'm planning on oil change and spark plug replacements just as maintenance as I have no idea when they were last replaced. I was going to replace the air filter but there is a K&N air filter already installed and it looks very clean. I just replaced the radio a couple days ago. Speakers in the doors are next in that process. I've been waiting 2 years to use my subs as my previous car had a bad leak in the trunk, I never installed the subs (leak was too much of a pain to try to patch). I feel a clunk in the right rear of my vehicle when I hit bumps so I'll have to check that out. Battery or Alternator is going out as my battery indicator is lighting up while the car is on. For the price, I got a steal but I also expected to have to do work to it.vibenvy wrote:Welcome to GenVibe! Wow, she definitely looks a little rough, but it's good to hear you have plans to get her all fixed up and looking good again! I look forward to seeing updates from you!
Have them tested at the parts store or give all contacts to the battery and at the other ends a good cleaning. Bad grounds can cause trouble.Battery or Alternator is going out as my battery indicator is lighting up while the car is on.
I work at an auto part store for the time being (two jobs). I'm going to have them check it today. I'm just the parts delivery driver (they provide the car and gas )vibrologist wrote:Have them tested at the parts store or give all contacts to the battery and at the other ends a good cleaning.

I am. I have two jobs. I deliver pizza for Papa Johns and I'm a parts delivery driver for Bennett Auto Supply.BustedVibe wrote:haha I thought you were like a pizza delivery driver or something
