I'm back, With what I've always wanted
After selling my Panduh in January, the poor car suffered a fatal accident that totaled her # The owner kept the car and fixed it up and actually still drives it, I haven't seen it since the accident, I just wish the best of luck for the new owner and the Panduh.
I never really thought it would hit me like it did but I missed these damn cars so much I started looking for another and found this little devil.
Now onto my new baby, My wife has a somewhat gift for naming vehicles and this name fit perfectly IMO.
Found this Tuesday of last week, called the kid worked out a deal and drove there after work with my truck and trailer and picked her up.
The issues I've noticed with it...
-Front bumper isn't in good shape
-Missing fog lights (Looks like it has a cheap after market in the right side)
-Got rear ended at some point in its life, The tail lights are chipped and don't line up.
-Trunk plastics are messed up and one of the previous owners cut the Manual top switch out for god knows what reason (Already found another and wired it in, Also found a full set of tan plastics in perfect condition at the junkyard)
-Something is wrong with the starter, torque converter, and/or flex plate (Makes a god awful grinding sound when starting it, but once it starts it idles and drives)
-Needs to be painted, usual sun fading
- Top is actually in pretty good shape except for the where the glass is sewn into the top the stitching is coming out, shouldn't be hard to get that redone.
-Dents and dings around the car nothing horrible
-Previous owner hard wired a cheap cd player into the harness instead of buying a 3$ jumper.
-Leaks oil from a few places.
-Car is Auto...
Now onto the decent
-The interior is complete and in AMAZING shape, seriously cannot believe how good of condition everything is in
-Car has a clean title
-Car has little surface rust in small areas
-I love the color
-Car has great potential and I'm excited to finally own a Spyder
The plan was to remove the trans, figure out the issue and put it back in to keep it drive-able for the time being, well I got the sand out of my vagina and decided to not invest money into the transmission components and just start buying my manual Awd components
Operation 2gb Tsi Awd Spyder has begun
All 2gb eclipse body panels will be for sale or trade except the side skirts if anyone is interested.
Thanks for looking!
