I did a little something dumb today. there is no oil in the car due to a cracked oil pan and no radiator because the front end was being rebuilt. but anyway i would venture to guess this car hasnt been started in ages. and i wanted to see if the motor really did work or if it was seized or something so i quick flicked the key and it made the noise to start but not turning over. so i said the hell with it i really need to see if it could turn over. and i feathered the gas and to my surprised it turned over but right away i shut it off because i didnt want to screw it up. i would have to say it hasnt been started at all in possibly over a year.

what he said. very nice man. have fun with it

drop it like its hot....

Yeah Thats a Nice buy. like every one has said that its a great car. The first thing you should do is drop it. and if you dont have the money for lowering springs. Then take a torch to the springs. but dont do it to the point where your car is slammed. you will blow shocks out. But this is just the cheap way. But I would go with coil overs.
