thanks for the input....I know my 'wish' list far outweighs the value of the car as is or post repairs; nothing on the list is crucial, I don't have to add oil or any other fluid for that matter. i was reading to sell it after i found out the abs was shot, so I looked at newer cars- ex. a clean '03 LS luxury package with 116k...could pay around 5500..but then I thought, 'why not just get my car where I want it instead of emptying my checking acct/gambling on another used car?"....

I've already done a ton to this car, I'd still like to have ac, exh, jmod, paint job.....the steering seems a little loose, one bellow leaks grease, and i can hear a random metallic clank when turning sometimes- I'm thinking that's the rack?...keep in mind the entire front end was rebuilt w/ coil conversion leass than 10k ago all my bll joints and bushings are good- I think one front shock kinda scrapes sometimes but it's not overly bouncey

I moved to an apt and keep my other mark and tools in a 10x30 stroage space, so big projects are not feasible for me
