Some more pics of the car..

Picking it up:





Car was listed as having a mechanical issue. Yep.. it sure does...


In additional to it drinking a lot of water, it also had electrical issues so the 80A fusible link on the positive battery terminal was blown. We did some electrical troubleshooting and removal of a lot of parts while doing so...




Traced it down to an issue on the dome light circuit. The PO had a lot of stereo crap in the car and with a mix of decent and shit wiring work so that circuit is still shorted to ground somewhere. We may go find it at some point but for now just pulled it's 20A fuse.

And here's how the car sits currently..


Next steps are to find an engine donor car for it.. still trying to buy that sweet mint wrapped WRB lol
