You can see my dad and his friend looking at it. So far it starts up but shuts itself off after 2 seconds. It right now needs a lot of tlc. But the interior has been fixed up. Momo wheel, custom seats. His goal is to have it working, but the engine will be stock. It's his dream car. |

Itemized Cost: Oil Change$26.55Front Pads & Rotors$250.00Calipers$110.15 x2Lower Ball Joint$108.98Muffler$140.17Hanger$10.00Labor ($100 + $75)$175.00 The necessary stuff (ball joint, brakes, oil change) would come to $875 ish. The $1,100 would be that plus the muffler. If he were really trying to screw me over he would've told me that the car should be okay after that work was done rather than advising me that my money would be equally well spent as kindling considering the rust on the subframe and underbelly. So I've talked with a friend who's into cars and he'll be keeping an eye out. I also saw a neighbor who I know sells cars and told him to keep me in mind if he sees anything decent in my price range. Only good thing about this is that school's out and rather than sapping the remaining strength of my vehicle, I'm earning money at more than minimum wage to find its replacement. |

PORSCHE 911 UPDATE: we got it to start! smoke started flying eveywhere and the engine kept sputtering and kept revving like crazy! I wasn't there for it though. It needs a rebuild. we're trying to haggle the price for it as a shell. |
| Caution:
If you scrap it you can probably get a couple hundred bucks for it. Otherwise just sell it like $150, someone will buy it eventually. We actually had an older Neon that came in the shop the other day where the engine cradle actually rusted in half. The motor actually was hanging out the bottom of the car. That would not be a good way to start your day. |
