Budget is open currently.... id love to spend under a grand on the car and then drop 1-3000 into it. I do LOVE to wrench on my stuff. I drove old 2 stroke motorcycles, old diesels, I am ok with wrench time. Body work will be mild at best and accomplished by myself and a few buddies (Bud Weiser, Heine Ken, and Mr Coors)
I think this may be a good way for me to waste some money and time and learn the evolution of the 2002. I am going north tomorrow with intents to buy, BUT I WILL be searching for Hidden rust and any signs of serious problems. Maybe this will be the parts car after i spend some time wrenching and find a better option. I know I am in lust with her but I think i will be able to make a educated decision after all your posts thanks again.
