DrDirt, I restored the engine into stock standards.. I re-did gaskets, filters, plugs, wires, etc...everything to restore it to stock. He also likes working on cars, and he wanted the car also, but I bought it first.. he begged me for it when I got it, so then on Christmas day, I sold it to him for $800.. Hes going to work on it now as his project. So now I have like $1200 (and trying to get a job to save more) to buy a new car, and I think I want to get an Eagle Talon to work on.

*cough* AWD *cough*

I'm sure you can find a decent 90-91 around that has been unmolested for a reasonable price. A friend of mine bought his 90 GSX for 2500. AWD launches in the rain were fun.

Ya, ill look for AWD.. but if I find FWD for a good deal, im probably going to take it

***EDIT***
By the way, just because I want to start working on an import car, doesn't mean im ricey. It's not like im going to slap altezzas on it and start asking people to race.. any car I work with, I will put 100% effort into.. I would have kept working on the stang.. but my dad really wanted it, and I have wanted to begin an import project for a while.
