looks liek a pretty good project at a pretty good price

what does it need for bodywork?

Rebuild would depend on the quality of parts you want to go with. Basic stock parts are relatively cheap. However you need to get it apart to see the whole story. Depending on the cylinder wall condition it might need a bore/hone new pistons/rings, bearings and gaskets. Stuff adds up real fast

I would not wanna dump more than 2500 bux to get it running good. That’s my budget

5

So you wouldn’t want to dump more than $2500 over the cost of the vehicle, or $2500 total with vehicle cost? For $2500 over the cost of the car you could easily rebuild the engine and upgrade parts while you’re at it.

well personally for all the extras that come with that car thats a killer price, id be all over it if i had more cash lol/ but as far as a rebuild, if you ment 2500 over the cost of the car you could have a really solid motor with 2500 rebuild

i will buy those wheels off ya if you want to make some of the money back!

looks like a pretty solid deal though, go for it.

8

imho the car is a steal at that price. where is it located? :stuck_out_tongue:

9

arent u 5lug?? lol i want those wheels

get the fuck outta here jay, i got 2nd dibs on it lol

10

but you already said you don’t have the money for it :wink: haha

11

thats maddd hot.

$1000 rebuild

$1,500 strawberry s15 front end. :stuck_out_tongue:

HOT.

12

base model 4-luggy. if i can find the right wheels (these) i would keep it that way and save the 500 bucks.

13

I don’t want to spend more than $2500 to build the car, in addition to what I pay for it. So no more than 5K? The car is located in the Midwest. Exact location is top secret. :slight_smile:

14

thats just what you need, another car.

15

$2500 will more them buy you a rebuild … hell … 2500 will buy you a bulletproof bottom end …

16
