looks like a nice car to me

 

i'd pay the 50K for it since i know you cant build one really that much cheaper unless you do all your own work over the course of a few years and even then you wont be too far off the 50k mark considering clean roundie 02'start at about 20-25k now

 

 

As much as I’ve enjoyed my car hobby, I think of all the evenings and weekends in the garage to satisfy my selfish pleasure. That’s also time not spent with the family. Some people just don’t want to put that much of their time into a car. They have the money and can have instant gratification. Not everyone who loves our cars are willing to spend as much time as most of us here to fix them, or maybe they don’t have the skills or desire. The older I get the more I tell myself my 1600 will probably be the last car I want to fix up. I’ve done too many dirty jobs that nobody should have to do twice. I think of all the paint dust I have inhaled, all the chemicals I’ve handled, all the paint overspray that’s sneaked past my respirator due to trying to get paint into areas a contortionist would have a hard time with.  I am happy to see these cars fetching big money, but sad for those who may eventually be priced out of the hobby.

please explain the euro 3.45 diff .  I have converted to this LSD and find the combo 2L x 4speed x 3.45 diff x 185/70  tires perfect for my driving.  What am I missing? BTW, my speedo is spot on to GPS.  First time it has ever been accurate.
