marley- Yeah, it's an auto
Interestingly enough the seller told me his problem with starting the project was that he couln't find an auto anywhere, he said they were all sticks. I seem to have the opposite problem. I live in Chesterfield (23mile area) but am frequently in Grosse Pointe/Warren/Detroit/Dearborn.
teetime- I intend to do the engine bay, he told me the same people that painted the rest of the car wanted $800 just to remove everything and prep/paint the engine bay. I've been trying to research & compare specs because I'd eventually like to do a turbo/supercharger/2.8l swap, & in the midst of that I'd paint... but the gas mileage is crucial to me as it's going to be my daily driver until I can scrape together enough for a winter beater (and I drive a whole lot), so I'm looking at how I could run a light turbo w/boost controller so I can tweak gas mileage, but it appears the exhaust manifold/rest of the setup have to be quite custom... spose I need to get the car first before anything else
naustin- Seems people either love or hate the headlights. As for the vents they're not really my style, but I don't mind them. They look a little better in person and they are actually sunk into the fender (not stick on) & really clean looking for whatever it's worth. And yes, as far as I know, it's for sure mine as of Monday.
Bloodrunsdry- It's on the west side of Michigan, I woke up @ 5:30am yesterday and drove 3 hours to testdrive it
Forgot to mention it's got a great cd player/ipod hookup and drilled & slotted rotors w/real nice pads too, but it needs a little love (triangle shaped interior door pieces on the other side of the rearview mirrors, jacking point cover for the back bumper, engine's pretty dirty, cali top needs to be helped to close).
I'm pretty excited, can't stop thinking about it
