$700 runs and drives like a dream. A little bit (ok, quite a bit) of rear quarter rust around the fender lips, but it makes full power/boost and the tranny is good.

I think it could become a $2012 challenge car, but it'll be a winter daily driver for now

Rusty lips = flares. Just sayin'.

We are thinking flares, 16x8's (at least), ginormous rubber, and rothman's wrc colors (because 555 is soooo played out).

Sweet, I've bought much slower and rustier for the money.

Legacycentral.org for 1st gen Leggy support and cheap parts, if you've not yet found them.

Good buy - Over here in Ontario guys are looking for $2K for rusted pieces of crap.

So, you're saying when I am done with it, I should advertise it in Ontario for $1700 firm and pay the $200 to fly someone out here? That'd net me a $500 profit! :D
