I am really interested to know, if i replace everything in the car as shown above...wouldn't it be legal to classify this as a custom/new vehicle? And buy a new odometer for this new car...? i guess that would require a not actual mileage title and such...because the VIN # corresponds to the mileage...ohh that sucks...

Well anyways, let me know if i forgot anything...

Also, I was not really sure where to post this, so yeah...

over ur head yet?... new car?

well not new its still an '89 model year but that doesn't mean it can't be a new '89 model year..lol

im just saying.. with everything you have listed.. you are looking at about the same price as a 99+ SSEi? would you really wanna drive a brand new looking 89 or a nice looking ssei?

very true haro...

never thought about it that way....

this will all probably run me like 13-16k so hell why not just buy a 2002-2003 SSEi...? i think i might have changed my mind....

but i am still going to make SOME repairs to my '89..it holds a place in my heart...

yup get a boosted ride thats too much bread to be throwin in a 17 year old car

i wouldnt do it

thats atleast 6 or 7k worth of work min

I don't know....

I've always loved the idea of getting car I like (don't really care about what'* popular) and rebuilding it. It'd be a great way to have a potentially unique car.

The only things stopping are time, money, and skill.

I say, if you like the car, and want to rebuild it, go for it! Do what you want, and what you can afford.

haha, well i am really balancing this...i can either get a 2003 SSEi for 14k-23k or i can redo this car for 9-16k...hmm...the 2003 is MUCH faster...much nicer...ohh god!!! i think as soon as i get the money i am gonna get a 2003, THEN when money allows (after modding my 2003) i will do a partial restore on my '89 LE

the other positive about buying the newer car is you can finance it and make payments. tough getting a bank to give you loans to finance restorations/mods. I think about that everyday with my camaro.

ahh, i wouldn't make payments, i would buy it outright...i don't like having to owe on things...so it just might take a bit longer...but it will happen...probably by early next year...hopefully

Johns gettin a new ride!! YEEYAH
