92 Protege DX with 85k original miles. Has a few shopping cart dents on it, and theres a rip in the drivers seat. I think the paint could clean up and shine real good, and the rest of the interior is basically flawless. When I got it, it smoked a bit, but I fixed an arcing spark plug wire, and replaced the leaking radiator and it stopped. It has aworking AC also.

yeah, auto. My paint seems pretty good, it just needs a good polishing/waxing and buffing. I think I can get the color back. I gave it a quick wash after I got it and it came decent, so I really just need to put some elbow work into it.

I bought it thinking I was gonna just turn around and sell it for a profit, but now that everything is working right on it, I kinda like it I've always been a domestic Mustang guy

keep it, put about $500 into freshening up everything and keep it as a daily driver. Put miles on it while you build something else. That car will last forever with a little TLC.

right now the only things that need fixing is cosmetic. It runs flawlessly, and tracks perfectly straight. I can let go of the steering wheel at 80mph and it will stay strait as an arrow I may do a little customizing to it, and keep it as a daily driver as the job I do, I do a lot of driving and the trunk fits all my tools pretty good
