    That plus a bag of aluminum and a strip of magnesium we could have us a good time.

    Funny he mentions the paint is in poor shape (new owner welcome to repaint - duh) and the car is rot-free. But, there's obvious signs the car has been repainted and spots of rust showing. I'd be real curious as to what was covered up by the respray.

    If it's like any of the other S30 builds online... a lot.

    Cool cars. It's a real shame cars don't look like that any more.

    Good writer tho. Made $9500 sound reasonable. Too bad about the photos. He should have just left those out.

    Picture 17 in the ad shows a 928, a Saab 99, Volvo 122, some sorta cool truck, and an 90s Audi S6. I'd like to know more about a couple of those...
