which would you buy?

would u buy rear suspension for your car (mine is shot and also my daily driver)
or
would you buy a 88 project car with minor damage in the front and a busted door window (engine won't start, from what the guy said it sound like it was flooded)

If you can get the project car for what rear suspension costs then go for it. Fix it, sell it and then buy what you need and some stuff you don't.

Beat me to it. Put the whole rear suspension into your car. Change the subframe and all. just drop it out...Put the new one in. It's the easiest exchange you've ever made.
