Hello fellow dsm fans!
I am currently considering picking up an other dsm 1. because I need more parts for my car and 2. it is cheap. The car at question is a 150k 1996 eclipse gs-t spyder auto trans. The body is relatively rust free, but it has a rattle can paint job and looks awful. The convertible top is ripped, but not beyond some stiching to fix. The engine underwent a "complete service" 3 years ago or 40k miles ago. Motor is stock minus some cheap airfilter. It runs and drives well, but the gasket around the water pump is leaking pretty bad, but other then that it is a running and driving dsm. He says he is willing to sell it for 700 which I think is reasonable. I'm thinking to use the turbo/intercooler for my current dsm project (1997 eclipse gst), but when I have the funds, then rebuild the convertible to something cool. Do you guys think this is worth it or should I pass?
