Nice work can't beat a G for that price even with the work you had to do.

I had a guy give me a 90 Celica for free because it was rod knocking. I swapped in a $300 junkyard motor and sold it for $1500. It took me less than a day to swap the motor on my gravel driveway and sold it two days after I got it running. Easy money.

no just minor dings and scratches. had awful chrome wheels with wrong offset. has little problems from a 18 yr old owning it. sticky buttons. few burns on a pillar . passenger seat wont go back and forth . little stuff ill work out in the next few weeks. i bought the car mid dec. so with a lil time and taste i thing i'll be happy with it. i need to get it pro. buffed and maybe some paintless dent removal

im telling you man, all these little kids with these pretty fast machines, times have really changed, the guy that has my old 95 Supra now, was 21 last year, lives in Miami, has a speed boat, has a house and on top of the supra has an F250 Diesel that he came to pick up the supra in, his dad owns or is a top manager of a construction company down there so he has money to burn, even if i have the money to give my son a fast car when he grows up he is going to start off with a slow mid-size SUV, or mid-size sedan. But nowadays if your parents dont know much about cars and they have money you can talk them into buying a fast car without them knowing what they are paying for.

But props to you on getting a good deal on that G, them VQs are very good motors! and you know your car now on a personal level
