Well /o/ I recently acquired a 1992 Ford Probe LX for free through a friend (long story short he's moving across the country and is giving up a lot of his unfinished project cars). My Question is, Is it worth keeping around? My buddy rebuilt a lot of the engine so I don't have to worry too much about mechanical problems but I'm just not sure what could be done with it honestly.

More photos to come.

and finally Engine

my friend had this car in high school. He has since owned about 4 other cars, all of them being manual transmission hatchbacks. I say you should get the service manual for this car and just go through all of the tune-up and regular maintenance procedures.

looks like a good candidate to learn paint/body work

I'm not memeing.
This isn't the only car OP has so it's literally pointless to drive a heap that gets shit mpg.
>>
>>15228564
Which is why he's gotta sell it to me, it'll get better mileage than the heap I drive now
>>
ayy thats like the rarest 1st gen Probe there is (5 speed Vulcan)

assuming its all good mechanically Id stick with it to have fun with

sell me your center vent if you dont plan on keeping it, I need it for my GT and we have the same interior color
>>
>>15227282
Keep it, who doesn't like a good probe now and then. Three spoked wheels are gutter tier though
>>
It has more in common with the Acura NSX of that time than you'd think. Keep it.
>>
>>15227282
strip and repaint the car in a deep black
reupholster the interior to black, replace window rubber, replace interior plastic for non-faded ones.
this thing looks mechanically fantastic, restore it and keep it in good shape for a decade and it MIGHT be collectable.
