Considering getting an LX hatch...

[asecretfile]

Is it worth it? 500.00

93 LX Hatch 2.3L 121K

List of what it needs

clutch, ashtray door, front right tire, small dent in fender pulled out, headlight switch for the dash, doors swapped out (he said he would give me an extra driver and passenger door also...I dunno lol) alternator (already have an extra in my garage), and a good interior cleaning...its been sitting for 2 years

It runs it just idles kinda high

oh yeah i think its worth 500. it runs.. bodywork paint and a 5l swap. if its a stick then for sure do that.

 

[asecretfile]

any one have a way of telling if this vin comes up as a stick or automatic because as it sits its a 5 speed?

and/or a carfax?

Can't tell from the VIN, you'd need to check the door sticker on the original door or look for clues on the car

what do you think Im looking at dollarwise for a new clutch?

thanks

 

[Mustang5L5]

For a 4-banger? Never checked pricing, but maybe $150-200 for the clutch and you should resurface the flywheel as well.

That's assuming you do the labor

Finally saw the car in daylight...interior leaves plenty to be desired...mold from sitting.....it has no rust inside...floor is not rusted at all...but the driveshaft and the rear axle has rust on, however the chassis doesnt have any rust

still worth it or no?

thanks again

good project car...replace whatevers moldy and clutch swap not bad for 500

 

[Mustang5L5]

What do you want it for?

5.0 swap? Or daily driver?

 

[5.0Torx]

i'd do it in a heartbeat if i had the room for another car. as it is have 3 cars and no more room!

 

[asecretfile]

Im wanting to keep it a 4 cyl and clean it up. Just have a nice 4 cyl daily driver since I already have a GT that I drive to work every day

 

[asecretfile]

Carfax??

Look at this carfax...maybe a rollback...but still for just 500.00 ...still worth it? lol

Mine is a "what's it not worth" thread

You could easily part it out for more than $500 if it doesn't float your pickle.


Cleaning the car up all depends on how motivated you are really. If the body is rust free, i'd say go for it.

didnt see any rust on the body just the rear axle and driveshaft was the only place...hope it will be ok

I say do it, I bought one for the same price a year ago. After I finished I sold it for $1,800.00 now I see on the street with a 5.0 swap and some Draglites and it looks bad ass. Just take your time with it and it will turn out ok.
