I'm not really too serious about any of these. Just always looking just in case something promising comes along.

Plus, I think my pops would be less than ok with using another garage bay space! Maybe when I find a decent 2 car garage apartment to rent that isn't $$$$ I will.

You guys are such chicken ****. That '94 is a gold mine. Low ball for $1200, fix it, replace or reupholster the seats, decide if you wanna 5-speed swap, steam clean the engine, shampoo the carpet, and you've got a $3-$4 car, depending on whether or not you find a m.netter to sell it to. M-edition bro!

Ed would be all over that ****.

I'd totally buy it if I didn't want to overstep my Dad's generosity with using his garage and I didn't just spend 8 grand on new equipment, repairs, and other bullshit....and just purchase a whole new turbo setup as well.

Jeff is going to build up the reserves till life stops punching me in the dick.

Use the Ed philosophy, spend $1500-$2000 now, make $1501-$2001 later!

This one only needs a bit of body work and some frame straightening.

Was waiting for you to post something up! Can't wait to see how it does on your car. Should look great in your already super clean engine bay. Everyone knows the first step to running this hotside is to strip down and paint your bay so it doesn't look out of place in a dirty bay lol

There are definitely some areas that need to be touched up but I'm not too worried about it.

Putting the turbo in is the easy part, the "fun" part is making all the new lines for it....I went a little overboard on connectors.
