Gearheadengineer Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Needs brakes bled? Sure, it’s so easy that the seller hasn’t done it. Reality is that aftermarket master cylinder is all wrong for this application. These are interesting cars but they don’t have the following of the slab sides that replaced them. I think this one will be for sale for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deac Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Not too much to like with this design. But that's me! That this one is painted and the interior has been redone is a big step in the right direction. But what lurks below the skin is the question. The brakes need to be bled; hmm😝 Chances are the brakes will need more work and then bled after that. This one needs a good inspection before you buy it.

suchan Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Looks like someone blasted the body in resale red, then refilled the paint gun with black and attacked the engine bay. BRAKES BLEED SOFT PEDAL sounds like a reworking of the "AC just needs recharging" claim. And what's up with the upholstery photos? The fabric looks faded in some photos, and brand new in others. Careful inspection required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
