OK so i answered a craigslist ad for a "1989 323 2 door." I was excited and called to find out what it was. The ad said $400, car dosent run blah blah. The woman who answered said it was an 89 SE 3 door automatic that cut off in traffic one day, so she bought another car to haul her 4 kids around. The car is slightly rough. It has a good dent behind the drivers door, a hell of a dent in the fender, and a scrape over the drivers rear wheel well. The clock showed 97k miles, and the car weakly turned over, so i had to make an offer. $200 later, the car is parked amongst my 626 turbos, an oddball since its bright red. I need to find out the running problem, but its hard to diagnose by myself. It has fuel (oddly it dosent prime when you turn the key over), but i still need to check for compression and spark. The car looks mostly virgin with the exception of someone straight wiring the fans. The coolant is green and the oil is burnt black, so im hoping the motor is still decent. I need to find an extra set of hands to work the ignition, but ill get to it. I need to make more pics, as i only have 1 at the moment.
