i bought this car for 1,000 bucks and has a decent interior...but since i bought it i've turned it into more a race car bought you cant tell from the outside..the paint job took me most of the winter, after work sanding and fixing the little things and painting was glorious...im so happy i kept working on this car i love it..do lots of reading on how to's and you can do it yourself its not that bad. you'll save thousands this way too. and you can tell everyone "you did it" good luck post up whatever you decide would love to hear how things turn out for you...stuckinablizzard { mike }

so all the hours after work that we all try to put into our cars is what
makes the car special to you..and the awsome feeling we get when
something turns out good is why we all do this thing!!!

i love cars done original, its all the fine detail stuff..hard to find pieces in perfect condition then when your done it looks like new...go for it! i also like custom cars without a ton of flare..the smooth clean look of the cars beautiful lines do the talking! either way its the little things to me that make the car special...details.
