    Have you gotten a leakdown test? Sure would be nice if they were shim over bucket like on motorcycles or even hydraulic.

    So went to pick n pull - two Pruii there a 2001 and a 2002 - engine compartment was empty on the 2002, no ice, no electrical motor, motor was there on the 2001 but in really bad shape - I think I took a picture which I will share

    On the good side the 2002 had a leather interior so I bought the seats, console, four door panels, carpet, original floor mats, and the parts for adding cruise control all for slightly less than 200 bucks - I do not really need another project but love the idea of leather seats 20180414_121845.jpg
