It's with a heavy heart that I put up for sale the car that I've put my blood, sweat and now tears into. But I have no other choice, so here's the run down.
I just did a fresh BP swap back in September, but last week I had a coolant leak and the engine blew on me. What I can tell you for certain is that cylinders 2 and 3 are dead. That might come in handy if you wanna rebuild this motor. Personally, I'd get another BP, but I'm tight on time and need another car ASAP, and another swap isn't in the cards right now. The pistons looked fine and so do the valves when i removed the head, perhaps it was the piston rings?
About the car, it's a '92 Tropical Emerald Green RS with the BP swap. It has a '92-'93 F series tranny. The engine has about ~95,000 mi. Not sure on the tranny. The body probably has ~200,000 miles on it is pretty good shape for it's age. (the milage cable was broken and I never got around to fix it, was gonna do an electronic swap, which you'll read about in my miscellaneous parts list). Future plans for the car had included doing body and paint (the body is in great shape, though a guy in his SUV side swiped me 3 weeks ago on the highway, just needs bondo in spots here and there and fresh paint, along with the rest of the car). getting new floor carpet and I had wanted to do the suspension bushings and either reupholster the seats or get new ones. Has A/C but no cruise control. Here's a list of the things on the car or done to it.

There's probably a few other things that I forgot about, but I listed pretty much everything. Some of these things I have the original boxes for and I'll give you the receipts for the work or parts I've bought since I had it. Clean title and I have the original owners manual as well. 2 keys are OEM from the dealer (the one that I've used since I got the keys made, the other never used) plus an after market key.
I'm asking $1300 OBO FOR THE CAR PLUS THE PARTS, I'll listen to your offers and hear your questions. I WILL NOT PART THE CAR! The shell of the car is way too nice to do that, but I guess whomever buys the car could do just that if they wanted, I just won't do it myself. A link to my work log on the MX-3.com forums to get a better idea of the car http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=78176 Let the queries begin.
The bumper was hit from a previous accident when I still had yellow turn signals, the clear ones are not broken.
