Oops, not Sandwichman, but one similar to his: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/3933263879.html

I hit up sandwichman and was like 'you selling your car bro???' He is going to think im like stalking him or something :mrgreen:

I probably wont be doing a restore at all, im going more for a low wide grungy look.. Modern interior, smooth strong engine and rough outside is fine for me. I like the one you posted but it appears he wants to get paid for the 22r in the car. People always do that.. They want to get paid for the upgrades like they hold all the value in the car. Like i will pay a little more for a car with a 22r IF i get the 20r with it to fix.. you know the engine may be work 200 dollars or so (non running condition)... the 22r means nothing to me because it is the engine in the car. 3500 seems steep with that blue one at 4k...

Ill email the guy and see what he 'really' wants for the car. Thanks i must have missed that one BTW
