good used would be an appropriate choice here.. car-part.com coils dont fail that often to preclude the used option. and yes, you can have a failure on just one cylinder

get zinc coated rotors, centric gcx ones are nice, but any coated rotors are fine.

Okay I see, thank you very much!

That is exactly what I'm curious to know! I have swapped a '97 obs 2.2L and it's entire wire harness into '81 GL wagon. Has taken far longer than imagined and isn't a daily driver yet, but almost across the finish. I sure hope that you finish that sexy beast. Then take it out on a scenic tour, getting many advertising worthy photos. Then you could share a select few with all us here.🤩

Here's one from the weekend at FlatNats My 84 JDM GT Turbo sedan, partially restored Brumby, Jon's tidy 86 Vortex Turbo, and an original hardtop coupe

I would be asking $10k. These are rare and someone will be wanting to turn it into a 22B clone. They will pay for the privilege of the chassis. You are looking for someone that's wanting to spend $50k building their dream. Price their canvas accordingly. Consider what it would cost in fuel alone to transport a rust free example from the west coast - not to mention your time to track one down. You have to pay to play. This isn't a vehicle you are selling based on it's value as a medium of transportation. This is a rare unmolested canvas upon which dreams will be painted. Price it accordingly. GD

For a seller, "fair pricing" is the highest price the market will bear. It's morally wrong to deny someone the right to overpay you for it.

Been about 6 weeks since I have updated here. In that time, had a baby and really just wrapped up everything I wanted to get done to the car. In another forum I learned the hard way that some MAF sensors are bad straight out of the box, but now she's running pretty good for an old and tired EJ22. Since my last update I: Installed the rest of the interior, all the trim panels and the recovered seats. The seats have new vinyl front and back, but we kept the original checkered material from 1987. I love the look and I'm really glad we got to recycle them. The seats were in terrible shape but the guy fixed all the foam issues. Also fixed the clutch problem. Not well documented on here, but the clutch was not properly adjusted, and it appears that the cable is a bit stretched out. Had a family member help me reset the clutch position which made a world of difference. Few things I still need to do - replace the front speakers, the current ones could be worse, but they sound pretty bad and my commute is about 20 minutes, I like to listen to the radio. Also going to create new cubby covers for the trunk area - the old ones are water damaged and warped. Was going to trace them out on peg board and use that (not sure if there is a better material) but got a ways to go on that. That's about it. Going to daily drive it this winter and see how it goes. She could use some new brakes but they work. Slight vibrations at 70 mph, but it has new balanced tires. Down the road when money starts flowing I will look into doing more body work, and doing a rebuild or buying a new EJ22. For now I'm just happy she's back together and running smooth. Thanks all for tuning in and checking out the build. It wasn't anything too fancy but it's one less loyale chasis in the junkyard.
