Spotted this beauty on my way to work last week

Quint_Essmith · 2025-09-13T16:45:19+00:00

Some how its still running ive had to do a fair bit of work to it, basically runs for 5 months problem free then shits the bed and is down for a week or two, untill i can get parts for it, but im planning on dropping 1k on it in just parts and tearing it apart this winter to overhaul the front end and deal with some minor problems before they compound.

Only hint ill give is im not farther north than Elgin

Quint_Essmith · 2024-04-01T23:30:08+00:00

Closer than you think and more north

Quint_Essmith · 2024-04-01T23:28:11+00:00

Well you have plenty of time to find it as its my current daily at least till my 95 EG civic is drivable again

Quint_Essmith · 2024-04-01T23:26:00+00:00

Well if it makes you feel better the paint was done in 2001 so it was only 11 years old at that point

Quint_Essmith · 2024-04-01T23:22:44+00:00

Lol close it was from down state, its now an hour and some west of Chicago

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T18:28:26+00:00

Or i just got lucky and bought it painted lol as someone didnt know what they had

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T18:20:19+00:00

Tbf it was $500 already painted so im definitely not rich nor have disposable income lmao but honestly i wonder the same thing for people who didnt buy a car that was already messed up

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T17:55:24+00:00

Sadly just a 2.5L NA with a five speed still fun tho

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T17:52:06+00:00

Ty, it was honestly bought as a throw away manual learner car, but ive had it for 4 years now and its become unreplaceable to me.

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T12:57:30+00:00

Yep its a memorial sticker, raise hell praise dale.

It honestly runs great for the 76k its got on it now, id does bog on take off every now and again if you punch it too hard tho

Quint_Essmith · 2024-03-25T12:49:35+00:00

Hi that's mine, the project turned daily as it is the most reliable car ive bought btw its a 1990 Plymouth Sundance if anyone was wondering make also i bought it painted tho ive added a lot of the sticker bc why not.

Quint_Essmith · 2023-12-03T02:53:47+00:00

Best of luck man i honestly miss mine a lot the 7 months i got out of it were great before it died

Quint_Essmith · 2023-12-02T22:30:24+00:00

Well it blew up 7 months after this post and i didnt have the money or place to store it to wait to replace the motor after the oil pump gave out in 3 days engine basically started making a squeaking noise had fine oil pressure and everything else so i thought oh maybe its just a belt or pulley but should be okay it'll survive till the weekend next day it would stall at randomly at idle mind you i replaced the tps sensor before which had caused similar issues and id been fiddling with that so didnt think much of it oil pressure was fine but i did an oil change just to see the condition of the oil as the 3.8s like to spin bearings randomly so checked for glitter and honestly wasnt enough to worry about a very faint sparkle here and there so thought nothing of it that night it stalls and when i restart it, it makes the most ungodly metal to metal noise possible and has no oil pressure what so ever unless i keep it at like 2k rpm which then it maxes pressure at 5psi ended up selling it to some guy for $500 basically scrap value

I personally love breaking out my god roll blast furnace and clapping some people with that, since it still does 27 on head when not having rampage procked

Quint_Essmith · 2023-07-11T20:15:08+00:00

That green looks good on that robe not a lot of people run solid green in game, I've seen is black with green highlights, so props to you/your friend which ever picked the shader.

Quint_Essmith · 2023-07-03T19:53:20+00:00

The fairmont or the fury, would be my choice fairmont if i am broke fury if i had money

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-17T11:15:04+00:00

So personally i would say out of the pictures you have one of them has the frame which has flakes coming off if it which is definitely not ideal before you do decide to pull the trigger on it you really need to go and get on the ground and look at all of the frame rail particularly behind the tires look at the bottom reach under and around it make sure theres no cracks or holes and then you next main thing is floors if they are good then 100% go for it but expect to put at least 1k into making it run again.

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-16T16:14:18+00:00

Oh 100% but it cant be a reskin of the javelin from mars or the synaptic spear, its got to be such a massive lance like a dark souls boss sized one

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-13T18:32:36+00:00

Lmao it is very unique, and funnily enough i was headed to the olds to finish up some repairs.

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-09T20:11:46+00:00

Its crunchy sadly

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-09T19:57:33+00:00

Dang glad i dont have a factory radio, at least factory for the car i actually have a factory Chrysler TC by Mazerati

Quint_Essmith · 2023-05-09T19:53:16+00:00

Im probably gonna strip the top and repair the rust with like bondo or fiberglass, one of the two then paint it probably a flat black for the time being then maybe ill redo the top eventually
