All fluids were changed when I first got the car in early 2016 and have been changed on schedule since then. Doesn't burn oil, starts right up strong. I'd planned to keep the car (otherwise I wouldn't have done all the work listed above to make it into a reliable, well-mannered no-excuses car) but now I kinda need the money and the space for other things.
Ask any questions, I'm happy to answer. And yes, even though it's not pictured, I do have the spare tire/wheel and the jack base that holds it in position. Also included: service manual with notes fromtheprevious owner, records from previous owner. Most of my records are electronic, but I can provide what I can cobble together.
I can send a Dropbox link with more photos if you're interested.

The color of this car from the factory was blue and white, but when I got it the car had already been primered and I had two blue cars already, so I went with a different color scheme. The interior, trans, and rear-end came from another parts car, A9UF731849, according to the records I have from the previous owner.
