I had no knowledge of how to fix cars at all when I bought my 94. It's been just over a year and I could probably take my car apart and put it back together just because I didn't have the money to put it in the shop, so I looked up how to fix stuff myself and tore into it.

 

I dont have the tools either. I cant really do much to my car. My main reason was to buy a car to fix up, but with no help or tools or knowledge, I had to just buy something that needed nothing.

 

ya my dad was the same way lol. he has a 70 gto and he knows all the close calls he had so when i told him i wanted to by the z28 i have now he about had a stroke. then everyweekend after that i brought home a new ticket and you know lol. but ya you could def part that car out and make double off of it EASY! If it were me id actually do that get say $4000 n by another one possibly??? just throwing ideas lol (just cause i want that 6 speed)

 

No, See, My dad has no interest in cars. He has absolutely no interest in helping me with my car, And has absolutely no interest in just spending time with me to atleast learn and help me. Seems like everyone has a me and my dad fixed it story. Thats pretty much all I wanted.

 

lol well im with you cause my dad wont ever help me either. but he at least lets me use some of his tools.

 

Well thats what made me get good v6, instead of getting a z28 that I could fix. Thats what I really wanted.

 

I think I have been Hi jacked!

 

Ya this is now a Sob story thread.

 

Haha well Gorn, all in all it looks like a really solid car. I love that it has the SS hood. It shouldn't cost too awful much to get it on the road. I'd keep it if I were you.

 

Psh, Gorn, you're not old! I'd say do enough just to get it running, since you don't know what all is rotten or bad yet since it's been sitting. Never know what lines might have holes in them, what o rings might have torn, and so on. It sounds like you don't want to turn it into a supercharged race car either (being a low buck build), so maybe stick with a fairly stock build with stock replacement parts? Parts are always going to be worth more (and end up costing more) than the car itself. You can always do extra mods later on if the budget allows it...or you get bored, haha.
