So guys/gals I just need to vent. I've been on the seach for a car for about two months now. Last week I went to look at a car that was on Craigslist. It was in pretty rough shape but it was a series on car and I talked the guy down to 700 bucks for it so I was happy we shook on it and I was to go back and pick it up this weekend. Had the trailer rented and have been buying parts all week to get to work on it when it got here. The car was sitting on 4 flats and the guy was to have his buddy who runs a local garage come take the wheels off of it and put some tires on it. Told me it wouldn't cost much since it was his buddy. He called me thursday and said it was going to be $400 which doesn't seem like to great of a price for 15 inch tires especially if you buddy is supossed to be helping you out, but I went with it cause I was excited to get to work. So tonight I sitting watching the hockey game excited for tomorrow when the guy text me and says hey I still can't find the keys and my buddy never got the tires done so... we need to push it off. Now first off I was supossed to bring it home last weekend but he couldn't find the title or the key so I've already waited a week. And this is the last weekend I have free for about a month to go get it. So i text him back and ask him if he can get me the tire size so I can get with a shop in his area and just take the wheels myself. Or can I just take the wheels off and take them to his buddy and have him put them on. He returns with I still have plenty of interest in the car so I think I'll just have to pass on the sale.

So let me tell you I'm livid. Nothing like having this great excitment for a week and searching and buying parts just to have nothing to do with them. So needless to say I'm on the search again. IF ANYONE knows of any good fixer uppers let me know. Please.

I don't mind doing doors or fenders or hood or hatch or floor pans. Guess I should have put that out there really looking for straight roof, and quarters since they need cut and welded any piece that unbolts isn't a concern and floor pans I don't mind since they can't be seen. Just don't feel comfident enought to cut and blend panels.

Walk away... there are always great deals for cars... no need to jump at an early find.... be patient and be ready.

That one in Old Bridge might be a good one to look at, it had a 280Z motor and the series one body (the lightest body) Some work you could have a killer machine

Hey what about this one in Alexander NY

You might need to go to 3G's but hey it looks like it might be a good price

well guys here it is. I was about to give up and take a break from looking and last night I checked out south jersey on craigslist. And found this gem. Needs two fenders and some rust around the gas cap fixed. Also has the traditional fram rot. So not to bad but have some work drove it on the trailer so thats a plus but it has a dead cylinder the black smoke would lead me to beleive that it needs a standard tune up. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor. So wish me luck but I'm back in the game

oh and I feel kinda bad because I got it for 500 bucks

You didn't get a hold of me bummer I live in SoJo;) That's all right we had an emergency at work so I probably would be unavailable anyways. I'm glad you found something you will need to take more pictures, people like picture.

Forester: Sorry man it was a last minute thrown together plan. It sucks too because it was right in Berlin

I know the car it is in one of my work pictures. I didn't know it was for sale :0

I'll be back in Bridgewater NJ next week. It would be nice to meet up some time.
