My truck was getting about 5mpg, so I found this 89 SEi listed for $999. Got it for $600. Showed up, didn't run, been about a years and a bit, was a daily until parked where it sat. Dumped a bunch of premium in the tank and had to crank it for about 40 min before it finally got good fuel and fired! Then I had to use my truck to pull it and jar all the brakes free haha. Made it home though. Seems to me that the thermostat is stuck open as the temp gauge never comes up to half way, gets to 1/4 way up then pretty much stays there. So i picked up a thermostat.
bought as a winter beater but being an SEi I kinda wanna fix it up now haha. Pretty stoked on it, heard they can get like 30mpg.
Just picked up 4 new winter tires and a new battery, two belts, oil, coolant, trans fluid. Cap n rotor n wires coming from rock auto.
Oh and I have the 14" alloys too! Mount the new tires tomorrow.
