          THIS

          I loved my Black late model coupe; I loved all the little things I did to it to make it a sweet little car, but it wasn't exactly what I entirely wanted. It was nice to start off and learn the engine, but now that I know what I'm doing, and my mechanical emptitude is greater, I want to find a long term non-body damage project

              Took me over 6 months, and happen to find one with everything I wanted in town. It seems they all come out of California...

                  8 months back on 02-03. I was about to settle on a Civic!

                  Couldn't imagine how hard it would be to find one like this, today
                  If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                      About 1 month and mine is pretty damn rare. Every now again on here you'll see a thread where the poster goes "oh it took me 2 years to fine this one" Thats pointless. Just by the first color combo you like that's rust free. Your going to dump so much money in swap, suspension, wheels, etc. holding out for things like mileage and trying to get the best deal are pointless in the long run. Its a waste of time and can be frustrating.

                        shit.
                        im not so picky....
                        took me 1 day...drove my friends turbo awd talon around and just hit all the crappy used car lots till i found a decent 5speed...had dents, dings, but fuckit..its a car...(albeit a fantastic car...still just a thing).

                        it was the weeks that fallowed that i fell n love with e30's. about 10 years later, my cabrio needs another hardtop and thats it.

                        my drift car however, took about a year...as i wanted one which cost less then 500bucks... incidentally found one for 600 but with a close ratio trans. and a dead eng... a year later, the engine is good, and its a close to complete drift-er...not fancy, not even pretty, has dents everywhere...but it sure is fun...

                          So finding a "unmolested" one would be to hard to ask.

                            Hell no. You can't be cheap though. There are always a few nice ones on ebay. You have to come to grips with this fact: A mint "is" 5 speed with 100k miles is a $7k car. That's what they go for on ebay. Price yours according. I once saw a 91 318is with 90k reach $9800. Hell I think blunts went to $13k and didn't even meet his reserve. If you live in California you might fine one in somebodies back yard that doesn't run for $300. You can get a steal on anycar (trust me its want I do for a living), its just going to take a while. I found mine on autotrader on the westcoast and had it shipped in. I couldn't imagine still looking for a year over a few grand.

                            Cars that appear unmolested:
