here is a pic of my car in all her glory before any work has been performed

Yea that tire is pretty much flat..... but it'* ok.... when this photo was taken disco_dotty had just bought the day the day before for $500 ( Cdn)...the car was sitting in a field for 2 years, and all it needed was a new battery to get it started. They drove it home.
Yaa 3800!!!

She'll be awesome when she'* all done up disco_dotty
You and bb23 think you'll have both your rides ready for mid July?

Shouldn't take to much to much to get it up to speed. Any for $500 clams, that leaves lots to do work

nice ride for $500. I paid $150 for mine and didnt even have anything wrong with it it(at the time) and drove it home.

looks pretty good for sitting in a field for two years. you may have your work cut out for you though. i believe that if a car has been sitting for a while, some repairs. will be required in short order. i wouldnt trust this car. yet. please be sure to change the oil though ASAP, and good eye on a deal like that get'er fixed up, and she'll love you forever. Then you may foll in love with her too. Just dont tell your wife that you love your car more then her, cause then you will have NOTHING but your car. sorry, thats the way it works
