Re: Beautiful Paint On a Typhoon!
I dont know what to think. Fully rebuilt, then had troubles and was parked outside for about 1 1/2 years without being touched?? Sounds alittle scary. It could be a minor thing and tune up, or could be... who knows... your guess is as good as mine.
The paint is done, front right wheel cladding has a broken mounting tab, the back right piece is broken and the back bumper is all pushed in... the dash is cracked HUGE in a few spots, the rims need to be refinished, the front bumper marker on the right isnt straight, the front bumper cover isnt level across the top... my girlfriend wanted to know if all typhoons had ground effects that fit that bad. the left side cladding is "run rotted" on the top...
The interior is clean besides the dash. All manuals and glove box goodies are there. The tires look like they were new before the truck sat in a back lot forever. there are some dents in the passenger door, the drivers side body has a dent as well. Plenty of surface rust on the truck.
Anything else?
My pictures make the truck look better than it looks in person.
But HIS pictures werent even taken this year! the paint is WAY far gone since those pictures were taken...

Someone should save it. Doesn't look to be toooo bad, but would require a lot of prep work before paint. Then sand down the cladding also and paint that too. Just get a dash mat cover for the crack

Re: Beautiful Paint On a Typhoon!
I emailed him and he says the engine would crank with a battery but it wont fire up.
Sounds like the "mechanic" that put the engine in missed an important fuel/ignition component. Could be a simple harness thats unplugged. Could be a plugged fuel filter.
So.... who wants to take the plunge.... 1 day left
