Thanks for the input, I was thinking around that much. Not like I don't have enough parts in the garage to get it going!Definitely no more than 500 bucks. I've bought many cars in this condition for about 500 bucks and brought them back to life!
You thinking about two projects now
Becareful with adding to the plate, but yes $500 would be fair.
Not a snob at all man. I have come to realize that if you are willing to just save up a little more and spend more on a nice car youll save a lot of money in the long run.
You can spend 500 on that and have to redo EVERYTHING or spend 1500-2000 on a very nice clean 5.0 or 4cyl. That saves you a ton of money on body work, paint, etc etc etc
