Remember that 145? 140-160

Well, it's NOT as nice as it sounded. Definitely not... The rust issue is not THAT bad, it's still surface stuff, and the part around the windshield, while looking pretty nasty, doesn't seem as nasty up close. But all in all, the rust and paint issue is a major turn off. This car is fighting being towed off and dumped :-\... So the price is real flexible. After looking at it, and seeing everything, and seeing what work it would need to run around, and all the little things, my idea of spending more than 250 for it dropped... Even with the IPD Sway bars that were hiding in there... =D

With a full day's worth of fluid changing and cleaning and tuning it would most likely be driveable enough for less than $100 worth of pads and fluids and filters and ignition components... But that would still leave the missing interior pieces, the broken interior peices, the worn out/off and missing paint... To put thigs shortly before I pass out from this very long day...

And I sold my 75 engine for $275 today, i paid 200 a little over a half a year ago, so that was nice. And it also means that as of right this moment, my car is the fastest it's ever been... :-D

More on everything tomorrow when i get up again... zzzzzzzzz
