Well, maybe things aren't so bad inside the car. I've got to admit, the interior pieces looked pretty good. They seem to have a protective layer of dirt everywhere. Dirt was in all the cracks to protect the wiring from the elements. I think this car was actually used as some sort of a trailer to transport dirt around!
Besides all the dirt that was on and inside the dash, I found these gems when removing some pieces around.
Notice that one of the tabs for the taillight seems to be on incorrectly and for all intents and purposes, my antenna will remain impotent forever.
I'm afraid to rip into the interior some more. I wouldn't be surprised if I found dead animals or even babies in there.
Besides that, I discovered that pretty much all the switches don't work. Sweeeeeeet. Most of the switches seem to look out of places and hacked up to indicate that repairs were attempted and I was provided with a set of exterior door handles to fix the alarm blaring everytime I try to get into my car. This car and I seem to be getting off on the wrong foot.
Soooo where was I going with this...
O right. What to do. What to dooo. Finding a new motor to put into the car would be to expensive. I better do the next best thing and... Go v8!!!! No seriously, this was my line of thinking. So began the restoration of my fecal chariot. I'll finally be able to answer the question many of us have.
Can you put lipstick on a pig...
All signs point to NO.
