For what im doing I can afford it, Im buying a house in 2 years so I want to keep something active on my credit to keep it maintained, I have a few credit cards all paid off thats the only reason so why not use someone to help your credit out and you help them

If im going to repaint and rebuild then I know it will be running well and maintained

So the plan is to sell the red one to my cousin and buy a silver one.

Going to strip it down to the shell get it repainted and reassemble it and replace parts that need to be replaced. Then paint the outside a pearlescent white color

Cool story brah

Why not buy a roller?

Hah, 5 grand to strip and do a color change is a hell of a deal. If the car was nothing but a shell and bare tins from bare steel to finish paint, maybe.
Your talking about doing a full blown restoration there. Unless you have some seriously deep pockets and a lot of time on your hands you'll be far better off waiting it out for a white one.
