All I can say is that I wish u the best of luck with it. Ive bought cars that were already modified and i have bought stock cars and ill say that theres is no way that purchasing a already moddified car can give u the pride of building ur own but it does help when it comes to time invested and stress. also my parents bought me my first 2 cars a 87 plymouth duster and a 96 eclipse. i dont hate because i know if i have the money to get my daughter what she wants when its due time she will get it however i would never purchase a car of this caliber as the very first vehicle for my kids only because a person who has not had there license yet does not have the experience neccesary to take care of it or drive it properly and safely. Im not saying only u because i got behind the wheel of my first car and got my license suspened within 20 days of first getting it. I do wish u the best and the car is beautifull
