We poured our heart and soul into this little beast I replaced tons of parts to make it superreliable I have put a lot of money into this car and i'm just trying to recover some of my costs, I'm guessing I've put about 5,000 into it.I'm the second owner, first owner was a good friend. Located in the Bay Area.
I was building this up to rally race with so I removed the smog gear, smog parts are included with the car, if you plan on driving it on the street in areas that require it, you should reinstall them. Its reg and insurance is current and can be driven away. I'm selling this as a race/off highway car as I don't know what the smog laws are where you live.
