I picked this car up from Clark this last weekend. It is very rust free on the bottom side, and only surface rust from the lack of paint on the top for the most part. My plan is to eventually swap most everything from my GLHT over to this car.
When I picked it up there were several slight issues which needed resolved before I was to drive the car home 120mi. The caliper on the right front was sticking, and that wasn't too much trouble. We did hear a noise coming from the trans though. Clark jumped right under the car and started pulling stuff away from the bell housing to see if there was a bolt or some such stuck in there causing all the racket. None could be found, so I asked Clark if the fluid was perhaps low. Upon checking the Fluid, we found that it was indeed bone dry and decided that topping it off with used motor oil would do the trick. We started adding it through the funnel with a partially torn Mountain Dew can which we used to fill the radiator. We kept counting, and counting.
I can now say that a 525 trans will hold 13 partially torn Mountain Dew cans of old motor oil out of a kitty litter bucket containing various viscosities (some synthetic too!).
Upon driving the car home 120mi without a problem except for the lack of heat in February with temps in the 20s, I parked her in the drive.
Although the car looked great in the drive, I thought it would be even better in the garage. I had never heard of anyone getting 3 cars in a 2.5 car garage before either so I stepped up to the plate I could get a 3rd Omni in there if I had to. I think I will pick up some wheel dollies before that though.
