Well it seems I can't help myself. I just picked up a 98 GS yesterday in non-running condition. I now have a 95 a 96 and 98, just need a 97 and 99 for the complete 2g set. I'm not yet sure what I'm going to do with it, I think I can get it to run with a couple hours of work but it's got horrible strut tower rust.
The bad: Strut tower rust (see pics) No rear speakers awful carpet no battery Dent in rear corner Dented passenger door All wiring harnesses unplugged. Some rice (some interior parts painted white) Needs a clutch (but I have a spare) broken passenger door handle (think I've got a spare)
The good: Some black interior (door panels, dash, door sills, driver rear side panel, center console) Complete motor AEM short ram pipe new axles rear disc brakes cat (good for scrap if I part out) Stock fogs headlights/taillights/reverse lights in good condition aftermarket front bumper (looks like the wings west polyurethane one) working hatch struts new plug wires ecu should be fine found $6.42 in it

Man, what is it with these cars and that strut tower rust? The last 3 I've looked at around here locally for the heck of it have all had that problem with the rust. That's a frustrating situation.

Now that eclipse on the other hand... $167.43 MAX.

Man you guys are all harsh. Aside from the rust, the car would look pretty good with a little TLC if someone (I guess me) were so inclined to clean it up.

Umm? Because I can easily part it out for profit, or use it for spare parts for my 420a, or get someone to fix the rust for cheap get it running and sell whole. (although the last option may be a dick move because of the rust) Of all the options I'd say there's no way I don't make money off of this car
