    As many as I can until they say something is the plan. I know someone who buys and sells cars on base and he has a few cars so I think I can get away with it.

      If you use seafoam put half in the fuel and use a vacuum hose to suck it into the vacuum system the car will smoke and run rough while you do it, but the smoke means its working! Lol I swear by seafoam and rislone.

        If it cleans it I'm happy. Also this car appears to not have any oil leaks. Even the valve cover is dry

          Did it have any oil in it? Lol. That's rare. Sounds like a solid purchase.
          Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

            It looks like brand new oil. It was filled almost all the way to the full mark on the dipstick.

                Yeah besides the air filter it looks well maintained under the hood. Outside looks pretty rough, but you can tell that from the photos.

                    Only dent is the hood I'll take a rubber mallet to it first. Just the paint is baked off it.

                        For now just drive it until o finish my b8-me swap on my festiva. Then either a bp or ford focus ztec engine if that's possible. Or maybe a 1.6l dohc engine I wanted to put in my festiva but then found the 1.8

                            Looks like a bolt up. If I do it I will make a build thread and post updates.

                              Please do! Lol I can't try it yet because I've sunk a lot of money in my recent festiva rescue. I'll attempt some sort of swap in the future though.

                                Been sinking money into my current swap. Probably going to take a little time before I can do it, but I love doing stuff like this. It's hard for me to modify my festiva because its so clean I'm afraid of changing stuff like motor mounts or cutting anything.
