Damn man, I really appreciate it. There was one issue with the car when i tested it, it like skipped when turning hard slowly in a circle. The guy had NO clue what the issue was. He says he didn't do anything lol. I go home and googled the skipping issue and it is just from the welded diff supposedly. The plus is he has other people do stuff for him and just places everything in himself and did his little shitty decal/paint exterior work, plus the dif. The cool part tho is he hasn't done TOO much. I just wanted something with no rust and drivable. As funny as it is, the carpet is so fuckked that we could lift it and see that there is no rust under it Hahahahaha. Anyways though, I plan on persuing it and hoping it lasts a while. If all is good, I'll be turboing it before I make it pretty. Otherwise, I'm gonna do a JZ or RB swap then make it pretty. I appreciate the help man. I got work tomorrow. Hope you have a good one and I'll be considering everything you say when I drive 3.5 hours to grab the car and give my final offer. Pictures to come with my project. Peace.
