A/C works, Heat works, it rolls, has very little rust, spare set of tires an wagon wheels, rear bumper needs to be replaced, right pass rear door mini glass needs to be replaced, the choke needs work, and gas pedal sticks... oh yea it also burns oil.

Wife loves the bodystyle... so I have to get it.

Looks like another project... but Mini compared to others.

I'm pretty stoked.
 
Cool.

Does it "burn" oil, or just leak?
 
hey Mikesta

you have a "82 parts 60" listed as one of your cruisers. you dont happen to have a front driver side door for sale do you?

I do have it. It is rust free and just needs a little love to get back to perfect.


Lovetoski... burns I believe... possibly needs new rings. Do you want to run with us this weekend up in Isabel? Bunch of us headed up.

Sounds really fun...but I'm going to ski Baker both days with my son (who loves to wheel also). I've never done Isabel, but will have to wait until the ski season is over
 
Good news! I thought I read you were going cold turkey selling and getting out of cruisers? I live in Seattle and have not had the opportunity to hook up with you guys. My 60 is still in the garage, probably 3 more weeks? Looking forward to coming up to Tuesday night pizza.

Yea, I am going cold turkey every day. I give the guy till the 15th to buy both trucks... if Not... to the powdercoater... and up Pacino goes. (Purist... perhaps I wont powdercoat). I think what I needed was a break. Time to play with kids.
Taking the son wheeling this weekend. It will be good to see you up there if you go. Sultan at 11am on Sunday.
 
Well... I thought I was going to buy it, then on the drive over, I called the guy and asked him if it had tabs. No. Expired 2 years ago. Doh. Because it is a 83, I would have to completely fix everything with the truck to get it emission ready. Or pay $100 - $200 to a shop to give me a waver for 2 years. I figure it wasnt worth the trouble for what I need. However this is a KILLER deal for someone. Comes with some nice spare tires and is in overall good shape.

The tab thing. In Washington everything older than 5 years to 24 years old must be emission tested, before you can legaly license it. It wont be legal till 2007/2008 in this case. (without passing emissions)

However the truck runs and drives but needs a little work ($300 worth)

Here is the link.

The guy is real cool. Dutee is his name and he is a Mariner.
