lol whyd you make two screens

Anyway I figured you could hotlink from major site like Amazon or Craigslist, is that a no no?

Method Loser posted:

I'm pretty sure it's okay? I seem to remember something in GBS years ago that cleared that up, and I think hotlinking from major sites is okay. That being said, you should rehost anything on CL or it'll get lost to the sands of internet time.

Edit: Well okay, I guess I am just an over cautious stupid newbie. I don't know what you mean by two screens, though. I have an extension on Firefox that takes pictures of entire web pages.

First one's been deleted. Second one's an '87, which is a 2nd gen. Much harder to find parts for, and a very small online community. Third one's a '90, which will probably have the B21A1. The B21A1 is a piece of poo poo - the gist of it is that the cylinder linings are a much harder material than the piston rings, which causes the rings to wear quickly and the motor to burn oil.

These aren't all that common anymore - the newest 3rd gen is going to be a '91, which was over 20 years ago now. These cars are pretty rust prone (like all 80s Hondas) so there are not many survivors, especially in rust states.

$1500 is a bit high though, you could do better than that if you looked around (although I don't know what the market in your area is like). I paid $600 (if I'm remembering right, it was a few years ago) and drove it home. Pic for reference:

Mine had ~117k on it when I got it. Came with a few dings, needed an exhaust installed (was in the trunk) and had some badly done rust repair by the fuel door. Also, it's an automatic non-4WS so it wasn't the most desirable version.

88 - 89 are good years. The B20A5 is a reliable, stout motor as long as the timing belt is kept up on. This motor also takes very well to boost. These cars are very prone to rusting above the rear wheels (especially by the fuel door). By today's standards, they are a bit thirsty for a lightweight NA 4-cyl though. Make sure the timing belt has been done - if not (or if unknown), do this ASAP, as a snapped belt will almost always necessitate an engine rebuild. Look for a 4WS if you can find one. Avoid the "S" models - these are generally stripper models with a dual-carb SOHC B20A3 motor. This motor is anemic and hard to find DIY information on, and the carbs are a pain in the rear end. Main relay issues are common. If someone's selling one cheap because it "won't start when it's hot out" jump on it, because that's almost certainly the culprit, and you can usually fix it yourself for free in 10 minutes with a soldering iron.

This is a 1988 Suzuki Samurai that is in need of work.This is a project with great potential, but I have lost motivation and interest. When I bought this is was a complete non-running mess, but it has come a long way. A lot of it was hacked together. For example, the manifolds are plumbing pipe, transfer output is wrong, many welds are pretty bad. The steering is off and needs to be adjusted so it can turn right.

This has some real potential for somebody looking for project. The vortec 4.3 came from a 1995 blazer and it runs fine. It has exhuast right through the hood and a snorkel--guy before ran it in mud runs. The transmission is fine and the transfer case works, but I would swap the transfer case that outputs on the correct side. The front suspension uses repacked samurai springs and very low mile yj shocks. The rear uses low mile yj springs and new shocks that have a ton of travel. Front is shackled and the rear has shackles with missing links. This thing has a ton of flex. Toyota axels. Everything is SPOA. Dovetailed rear. Roll bar. Rear mounted radiator. 35" non matching tires that hold air just fine. Rugged bumper.

This mud buggy / rock crawler has plenty of power and tons of flex with all the items, but just needs to be gone through. Look up the price of these parts and the conversions. A perfect start for somebody looking to build very capable offroad vehicle.
I will include a standard transmission with a transfer case that drops on the right side, some flowmaster exhaust I was going to install and manifolds for the right deal.
e-mail works best, but my phone is

I cannot transpot this vehicle. Cash offers are best. All offers should have a day when you can pick it up. Please don't waste my time.

Trades: This vehicle is worth 1400 or more, so your trades need to be worth that much. A 1995 snowmobile in the spring is worth 800. I will be fair, but please do not treat me like an idiot. Only projects I would consider are a Mako boat hull, late sixties impala with a solid quarters or maybe 2004+ snowmobile. Intrested in perfect new style rims to fit gm muscle car, air compressor plus cash or impact tools, spray guns, enclosed 3 place sled trailer, tig welder, outboard motor and cash depending, 2 kayaks and gear plus cash or boat.

I welded the link bar today and these pictures are old. I may adjust the steering over the next few days too.

If it's not rusted to poo poo under all that, I would jump on it. Anyone know what kit that is or if it's actually quality stuff? Is "cut rotors" kind of like the rotary version of boring out an ICE or something?

If this wagon is in as good of shape as they claim, that really isn't that bad of a deal. I really do like the flat black finish. Though I would swap out the 307 to something with a little more juice. I bet a person could talk them down to 3,000 and get a fun cruiser.
