Sa… turn the life back in these cars

Honestly, this car is very reliable shamefully a customer abused it didn’t have the periodic maintenance performed and almost ran it into the ground. So as a mechanic I bought it for scrap price it had 64,000 orig miles did everything that was needed to get roadworthy and this thing sips fuel even with the DOHC engine! I feel like finding these and resurrecting them cause they’re the underdog of economy cars…..
