So typically I go and spam the 'what car are you obsessing about' thread whenever I have an update on my car search, so I figured I should just get make my own thread. Hopefully it will get more interesting in the coming months.
Anyway, I've been steadily stashing away hunnids to put towards a car, and I'm up to about $7,500. Ideally I'd like to spend around $5,000 max on the actual car, and the rest on goodies. At first, I planned on buying a cheap FD and fixing it up, but there was really nothing it my price range that ran and had a clean title. In fact there was nothing close. So I gave up. Definitely for the best, because I know I wouldn't enjoy owning an FD beat up enough to be worth $5k. Currently I'm thinking AE86 hatch or 240sx hatch. I'm willing to go anywhere in the country to find something clean and rust free, since the east coast + vintage jap steel generally doesn't end well. Right now I'm leaning towards the 240, only because a very thorough search for an 86 didn't turn up anything reasonable. It's hard to find a clean rust free hatch, period, but to find one reasonably priced is a whole different animal. Basically, it would take everything I have saved (and that's if I manage to find one). The closest I got was with an SR5 that is fairly clean (clean enough for me to buy and be happy with) but the price is just way too much for an SR5. For my entire $7500 I wouldn't even be able to finish the GTS conversion, let alone start actually adding any personal touches. I'm about to email this guy, and try to find out if the car is a clean as I think. Then I'll update the thread. The price seems decent, a flight to Dallas is only $120, and the drive back is 26 hrs. Do-able in a weekend. So, that's the saga so far. Hopefully it won't be too long before I can start documenting a build. And not just searching endlessly. |
