Don't go to Oka's; they're not that great.

Thanks!

3k! Was that what GX autobody quoted you?

How much were you willing to spend? Did you want showroom quality? My uncle can paint for about $500, but the quality is poor.

Got some more really high quotes today. This is a bummer. I'd really like to fix this car up. But I can't spend that kinda $$$$ on it. $3000 would just about cover my engine swap.



Damn

Don't know what to do now.

If I spend......

$3000 on paint

$3000 on an engine swap

$1500 on wheels and tires

$1300 on some coil overs

That's $8800 I could put on a Brand New 350Z




I hate cars!
