So I was perusing the local FB groups one day while at work, looking for parts, ya know, the usual. Came across this thing for a decent price; talked him down and got it for a steal.
If you've never had the opportunity to just tear into a car that you don't care about, you should try it. Just..feels rewarding.
Threw it up on jack stands and starting stripping it down. I figured I could part the car and make most if not all my money back and still have all the important stuff I wanted in the first place.
3 weeks later and a few dollars, it was on it's way.
