I made a decision.

After months and months of figuring out what I'm gonna do with it.

I'm keeping it. I'm gonna restore it little by little and mod it a bit like it was originally intended. If I sell right now in it's shape, I'm gonna lose big bucks. Good thing I had a 2nd Oppo sticker. :D

At least the body looks clean as can be.

It is, but the repaint that the ex-owner did really sucked. They didn't protect some of the black trim, so they got painted over a bit.

Nah, it does look professional. They just didn't remove the trims...

Keep the NA, sell the others for an ND.

I had a brief moment of "sell" with my NA a couple of months ago. I just replaced body panels with mint used panels, call it my factory respray. I then went out of town for work, and it promptly hailed, significant hail damage to the trunk, hood, windshield molding, tops of fenders, etc. Bummer me the hell out.

I've decided to keep it. Eventually, I'll do the bodywork, but for now, it's my summer DD in its ugly form and my track rat, once I actually get it on the track.

In the NC. I bet it's gonna be much more expensive on the ND.

1UZFE is my dream V8. But the B8 sounds sweet with an intake...decisions.

And bunch of rims too! I had a big plan to delete the soft top and drive without a soft top at all. Imagine how much weight it's gonna remove!

I almost bought a car with some overspray, come to find out the car was a repossession at some point and had been resprayed either by the owner or after recovered.

I think mine was in a accident. Parts are missing and some are bent and there's a bit of welding there and there.
