I am the 4th owner purchased in Oct 2014 (146,366 miles) with the intent of putting work into it, however I no longer have the space to keep this long term anymore thus I need to sell. I tackled the biggest/most costly mechanical issues first, but there is still other work to be done as described below. I am fully disclosing the remaining issues and condition of the car to the best of my knowledge. Also, a full list of receipts from the previous owners in addition to when I owned the car will be provided with the sale.

18. tail lights
19. side markers
The cons:
Cold start is sometimes rough, but after it warms up it runs fine. Some of that may be compounded by the more aggressive Schrick cams. Losing coolant somewhere, but I can't find any leaks. Compression tests came back fine, but that still doesn't mean the head gasket is holding properly. Check Engine P154 and P304, possibly also related to head gasket. The car is drive-able, however I would recommend towing the car until the coolant issue is resolved.
Some rust on the side panels by the rear wheel. Headliner was sagging, and is removed (old headliner will also be included with sale for refinishing). Glove box spring is missing, but the button opens it fine. Clear bra is old and cracking. Rear windshield tint was removed due to bubbling (rear defogger works perfectly, no damage during removal), driver side front tint also removed. A previous owner had a minor bump on the front bumper into a tow hitch with no structural damage but you can see the imprint on the bumper molding and a slight indent at the kidney grills, so I replaced the original cracked ones.
Once again, I am being upfront with all the remaining issues and put an immense amount of blood, sweat, and tears into revitalizing the car. I hope to pass on the torch to another owner who will care for her and can finish the job.
Also have a oem x-brace for sale ($200)
Located in the Morristown, NJ area.
