Help finding a clean bodied sedan...

[Hash_man_Se_i]

So, I'm trying to find a rust free sedan, as I'm getting pissed off with mine lately.

I am located in Calgary, AB, Canada. But if the car is in BC, Saskatchewan, or even some of the northern states, ie: montana, washington etc. I am willing to travel a bit for this.

I am also looking at importing one, but its damn hard to find a clean one.

So, if anyone can help point me in the right direction thatd be sweet. Oh and the car must be fuel injected. and preferably an 88 or 89.

EDIT:

I may also be stupid enough to go all the way to california for a clean car. :S
Thanks,
Jason

I live here in Knoxville TN. I see lots of cars for sale for like $300. We have little snow here and they salt the roads only on a chance of snow.

If your interested I could look around for you. I have been thinking of doing it as a side hobbie for a while since I see people wanting clean cars.

You can PM if you need my help.

There's a carbed 86 or 87 next door. Exactly what you don't want, but this thing is soooooo clean. I think they're asking a grand. It's in Oregon.

^^^ Ya oregon is not too far, but definately dont want a carb'd car... I dont feel like dealing with that bs, even though I have to change out the whole engine harness anyways, I dunno.

And TN, is that tennesee?... lol where the heck is that in relation to me. I'm basically just north of montana.

^^ Calgary, Alberta.
THat is a nice clean looking car, but I must have a sedan. Just personal preference.

[newaccorddriver]

damn, if that coupe was in edmonton or in alberta in general, id buy it in a heartbeat... i wanted an accord coupe since i got my sedan, although the sedan functions alot better in my life anyways

[Hash_man_Se_i]

THere is a mint coupe in calgary, but the guy wants like $4k for it... Now back on topic... the sedan hunt continues.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

OK back up to the top, still looking to Japan and the US for a clean body, its way too hard to find up here.
Any of you Northern Cali guys know good websites to look on? if you could post up some links thatd be much appreciated.
I've got a good chunk of money on the way and if I could use it to buy a clean sedan to work on over the winter I would be extatic.... Help me out fellow 3geer's

TN ,,, dam you knew that was tazmania right?


I have a sweet LX ., BLUE just like TonLoc's I would practically give it away to a 3gee member, has not run in three odd some years, towed in on a dui never claimed, my friend gave it to me, 86 does not need title to get tag, j
mind you it does not look near as good as TonLoc car by far but its totaly strieght and stock sedan.

I may have goofed that one may be 87...

Wow 89k miles, that looks pretty good... Hmm, not a bad price either.

Thanks for the links, and I'll let you know if I need help, thats much appreciated.

To import from the USA there are very few restrictions, from anywhere else it has to be 15 yrs old or older.

Lol... no... I don't know state abbreviations. well I know a few, but 50 states, come on.... I know all the provinces here in Canada though haha

[2oodoor]

Hash Im glad you got a chuckle out of that , that is all it was for. I thought it was fjunny. you may think your in tazmania in certain parts of the T state, every terrain you can think of at some point.

Here's something I saw in the local San Francisco paper and there's a link for you to it. According to the VIN, it was assembled in Sayama, Japan (vs. Suzuka, Japan) -- if you're concerned with which plant assembled it...Don't know about the entity selling it. Berkeley is fairly close but I don't go over the Bay Bridge much these days. My wife is not selling hers with intact pinstripes, etc. YET so that is not an option. Happy hunting and if I see anything else, I'll post.

here you go http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/198258363.html MR Hashman...lol sorry i could not help it

LOOk it has SE-I RIms...looks like it needs a good wash.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^ Looks alright, but I'd rather have an 88 or 89, besides which, I already have 2 sets of se-i rims and center caps.

But, I may be waiting till spring to do this now, I will keep looking on these sites though, but with school starting next week, and winter approaching quick, I think it may be best to wait till spring. I'll just buy a motor to keep me busy over the winter :P
