Wow dude, $3500? I would've bought that in a heartbeat if it runs well..

Are you planning on turning it into a racecar? or keeping it a streetcar?

going to put it back to stock except for a few minor upgrades. The worst thing on it is the interior and it needs a sunroof the first owner ripped it off from the runners. Other than that it runs great except it iddle hunts alittle.

actually...i was looking at yahoo classafieds...and i just happen to come across it at Rose Import Motors, in vallejo i believe.

the only thing that i don't really like about it..is that it is an automatic. But i have the six speed tranny sitting in my garage...i just don't know what else i would need...and how much work is going to be involved.

i live in the marina, but i used to live (and i have lots of friends) that live in the set.

i just met some dude albert with a turbo 2 the other night that said he can get me a hookup at japanparts. how much did the 6spd tranny run you? how much would a good compression 13b fd engine block cost?
