I know that odds are fairly low, but just in case:
Does anyone on fedi in the US Pacific Northwest want a 1989 Toyota Van project (needs and ecu and maybe wiring work) or a 1991 Subaru Justy (motor is rebuilt out of the car, it needs another justy to take the oil pump from). Im located in Oak Grove Oregon just south of Portland.
For fedi folk Id take $350 for the van or $250 for the Justy. Either would need to be towed, the Subaru's transaxle and front wheels are removed.
Please boost so maybe this can reach more people in my region.
