Well, I’m winning an auction on eBay for a project car… If I win it, the Prizm becomes my beater and I’ll have a car to build… don’t worry though; i’m not jumping on any bandwagons… you’ll all consider my new car useless as well…😉 edit: now i just have to talk one of my friends into driving to St. Louis with me… ---

> _Originally posted by 91GSteggy_ > **do u really think ur going to put any money into modding this one?** if i have a daily driver, i can afford having a car torn apart. but honestly? i’ll probably do suspension, brakes, and an interior/exterior restoration… unless i can find a nice carbed ZC, performance mods will be limited to a Mikuni or Weber carb setup and an exhaust. ---
