airbag light flashing, he taped it up to pass inspection 
yeah i was taken aback by the flowers....he looked Hawaiian, but the stereo itself was VERY loud.
he bought the car from a couple in FL and only owned it for 6 months, he's the second owner....he replaced the top with that glass one (probably have to trade) and added the stereo. replaced the slave, and other than the wheels and foglight switch the rest is stock.

gave a deposit to have him hold the car, although he's not actively selling it.
Insurance adjuster is coming Tuesday and we want to make absolute certain we get our $$$ before we purchase another.
Ours was valued at 4750, and the salvage title should cost $700 itself. So I'll keep mine and break even on this one. then when i start parting it, i can afford some of the parts and fluids I need
better shot of the bay....pretty well kept.

For an engine bay that doesn't look "cleaned", it's really clean. I'd say you scored big depending on the price. I hope the motor is strong.
So, whaddya gonna need...? Manifold, DP, and new MS? Tap the pan, swap over fuel rail/injectors, clutch, brakes??? What am I missing?
Your wheels/tire/rollbar will swap... what about shocks/sways? Gonna re-install your old clutch?
Did you determine if your old hard-top was salvagable?

If loki doesn't want to pay for fright, he mentioned wanting my engine earlier. I'd more than likely sell the engine with trans for something like $400-500 + frieght.

id rather unbolt the shock mount and the control arms and remove the entire section brakes, hub and all and swap them over, i also need the axles in the back as well.
