Well the pressure washer didn't wanna spray. It runs but won't spray. Not even a weak drip stream. I told the landlord to quit pranking me with broke ****. So I put the pressure on my bad shoulder with the scrub brush and hose. Looking better already...View attachment 446337

So OP, what do you hope to net out of something like this? I watch that show Wheeler Dealers, and they work their butt off to maybe make a grand or two after weeks of work. I can't see how fixing up cars like this would be worth it.

Well its a case by case kinda thing. I don't know how much hope their is for this car. It drives in all gears but first. But we can't invest big money in trans work for a car like this. If it was perfect interior and exterior wise then maybe. But we won't get in to deep on this car.
But yes, when we can score oddball stuff from the 80s and early 90s we do very well with it. We did damn good on eBay with an 84 Fiero Indy Pace Car edition. A guy in Conyers bought it. We did even better with an 84 VW Westfalia that didn't even run. I was amazed by what those vans go for.I almost quadrupled my money with an 88 Sentra base model 2 door back in 2011. And the reason for that is that these cars that were just bad jokes to most folks 20+ years ago were the first cars for folks in my age group and younger. And now most of those folks would like another one. But nobody cared about those cars or bothered to save them. So now if you show me something like an 80s Escort GT or better yet an EXP which I haven't seen in years then I can get all the money for it.
So you see it don't have to be a muscle car or sports car. My first car was a 76 Audi Fox. If I could find one I know I wouldn't want it bad enough to pay what it would go for. Oh and Volvo 242 coupes. I did damn good with o e of those in 2009 not even running.

I had one of these. It threw a rod through the block 2 weeks after I bought it. Driving along and all of a sudden my oil pressure went to hell, it kept running until I towed it home and drove it around a bit with no oil to drive the nail in the coffin.
