Bought a $500 car...

A customer came into work with a broken driveshaft, got a quote, didn't wanna fix it so he offered to sell it to me... I just blew the coolant seals in my 'vert so I was kinda looking to buy it. Asked him how much he wanted for it and he said $500 so I jumped on it. Got a driveshaft for free and have a perfectly running fc now... Everything works (except the sunroof?). Never been in an FC where all the wiper speeds work... kinda sweet! Gunna do an auto swap as soon as I get my flywheel... Best part about it, full service history!!

I have 2 shorties to put in the back lol.

Rear struts are totally blown, front's will soon follow. I can get these through work super cheap so I'm thinking about going with these. What's everyone's take on these?
