I was poking around craigslist per my usual. I came across this little gem of an 88 323 LX (as well as a 5-speed SE hatch). I was planning to buy this and trade for the hatch (I looked at it first, it was sort of rough). When I went to see the 323, I was astonished at how clean the interior was. The body is pretty nice other then the drivers fender. It has scratches and dents but what 88 economy car doesn't. 119k on the clock, has a ton of neat options, the coolest being under seat storage and aftermarket cruise control. Still has the original window sticker and owners manual. It has a blown head gasket. It's leaking into the coolant, not into the oil at all. I am unsure if I am just going to suck it up and do it. Or use the same stuff we did on the odyssey that lasted quite a while. The worst news is, it's autotragic. But for the price I payed I could not pass it up. It runs good for having a blown head gasket. Came with a nice kenwood head unit (still gotta get the faceplate). Plan to drop the GT grill and bumpers on it (If I find something better for the wagon). I will one day put the 5-speed from the wagon in when the trans dies. Anyway here it is for now, updates will be coming!
