Black paint, black rims, windows tinted

Full chassis lubrication recently

The Good
Interior is in good condition minus wear on drivers seat.
Deck included with Ipod hook up

Rust in the typical spots, minimal cosmetic rust on frame but NO HOLES! (fenders, rear exhaust exit rusty)
Not original tail gate, rattles slightly but not constantly

Body has definitely seen better days as far as minor dents/scratches go
Driver side rear tail light housing broken. Still functional
No rear bumper, removed due to rust
Drivers side door lock cover has popped off, still have piece
Drivers seat lumbar adjustment doesn't work

The issue
Truck was taken off the road after sitting for 6 months. MAS was replaced shortly after with one from a 92 V6 (same part number, verified with Granville Toyota). Didn't run correctly after, was told the head gasket may be going. Tore apart the front end, checked timing belt (fine) and there was no visual indications of the head gasket going. Put it all back together, checked the timing, perfect. After spending a large amount of money at many local shops in Chilliwack I decided to stop spending money on a issue that no one could solve, or even identify for me.

MAS did fix issue with it not running, has run with no issues for 7 months now.

Why I'm getting rid of it
I bought this truck originally expecting my work to require the use of it and a raise would be in order. Neither of which happened, so I have basically hung onto it till now. I want to get into something a fair bit smaller and cheaper on gas. I have been talking about getting rid of it for a while and have started to take steps on the direction.

I really am not interested in selling it, I would highly prefer to trade it for something reliable and cheap on gas. Have been looking at the Civic scene and wouldn't mind getting into a EG/EK Coupe or Hatch, preferably with a b18c or other renown Honda motor. You can contact me via email at jordan.andrew.holmes(AT)gmail.com or via text message at 604-369-5957. Thanks for reading, Jordan
