yeah, when bad stuff happens to a car, and someone fixes it themselves, you never know if they did it right, and it leaves all kinds of possible problems.

o well yea of course dude what im sayin is my car isnt worth puttin a ton of money into tho. lets face it fbody rust out like mad, mine is the beggining of the computer and it sucks **** so it is pretty hard to swap the motor to a carbrated 383. its just all a *****. but with an old nova or something similar its cheap and easy and they still pull top dollar when finished. my dads stang he bought for 12 grand painted it and put a motor in it then alot of tlc. a few months ago he was offered 25 grand and turned it down. old cars r gettin rarer and rarer and the price is still goin up n up im just sayin my put money into a car that isnt gonna last such as mine when i can get something worth the money. chevelle/ nova/ malibu. i got like 8 grand so that will buy one hell of a nice start.
