Major Props. As long as there was no bad frame damage, and the engine is sound...I'd say you got a DAMN STEAL SON!

I bought it from a individual who had traded it for chevy 1500....he took it into a corner too fast and nailed the curb, young kid, who just let it sit in his backyard for a couple years, I saw the add in craigs list and after a couple days of barganing I decided to go pick it up, the car looked HORRIBLE in real life, but I couldnt argue cuz I was getting a deal considering the engine and tranny alone were worth the money, on the way home I stoped in all the major citys picking up as many parts as I could fit into the truck, got the fenders hood front bumper rear bumper trunk and spoiler for 400$ from some individual in sacramento all stock parts (ONE HELL OF A DEAL) and the guy even waited up for me till 11PM.

Great job man, very impressive outcome!
