Possibly in the market for a project car to work on over the winter. Ultimate goal is to get either a rolling chassis that I can put back together or a complete car that needs fixed so I can re-sell in the spring. Budget is less than $700, maybe more for the right car. Hope to have something before the snow flys. Closer to Peoria the better.
Feel free to PM me or post here for all to see. Thanks!

A few that I found on the trader act quick before I've been combing the tradin post and DSMTrader also... 1 is probably the best deal out of that whole lot. 2& 3 are most likely non-turbos, and the last is most likely a hornet racer (also non-turbo). Thanks for looking though!! -------------------- The fastest car I own is a minivan....

I've got a lead on a white FWD (90 or 91 car) manual trans turbo car that needs an exhaust valve and the head put back on. Owner burnt a valve, had the head rebuilt and just doesn't have the patience or money to put it all back together. Has some rust near the fenderwells but nothing a little shadetree bodyshop time couldn't do. He wants $500 firm. I was thinking of buying it myself and resell it but I don't have the time or patience to deal with it myself right now. I can get his phone number Monday.

Phone number is 1-309-261-7956. Ask for Joe and tell him Brett (Bob Wade's son) sent you.
