Description:
Tons of usable parts, or a solid engine swap/rebuild candidate (I have an AJ27 engine available in a separate listing).
The good: The car is complete, and everything works on it. Head was rebuilt after a timing chain mishap somewhere along the way - new timing chains and tensioners, valves, head gasket. Tires are decent, including spare. One original key and fob that works.
The bad: Paint shows sun/tarp damage. Visible rust on the driver's side rear panel (the only visible rust on the car). Third brake light broken. OEM trunk floor missing. Interior has a couple of broken/loose/missing trim pieces and switches, but very refurbishable. Exhaust rear of the center box was deleted by a previous owner.
The ugly: The previous owner installed the exhaust cams on the wrong sides after the head rebuild, resulting in a holed/melted A3 piston, and light valve contact in A1. The rest of the cylinders look good.
All in all, a solid project car. I lack the facilities for an engine rebuild/swap, so I'm making it available to someone who does.
More photos, including borescope shots, available on request.
NOTE: This is a tow-out - you will need a car hauler with a winch.
