[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1785809, member: 9096"] For a cheap 80's car that i'd actually pay some money for with NO rust is a 84-85ish Toyota tercel station wagon 4x4, crazy capable little cars, but the bodies just rusted out bad (If you desert state people find one...)... We've had about 6 of them over the years My real weakness is 84-85 Rx7's, kicking myself for selling my last one, probably be about a $15K car as it sits today. They were built pretty stout, they were actually considerably heavier than that Tercel station wagon. I have a lot of miles in these, I found them really predictable and fun to throw around corners [ATTACH type="full"]25544[/ATTACH] Sold this one to a friend, a '93 Rx7, one of the sexiest body lines ever, I'd just dumped a bunch of money into it and the thing was pretty quick, the handling on it was amazing, 140mph felt solid, and I did hit 180mph once but there's just not many places you can do that. As much as it had far superior handling, and 500rwhp is certainly thrilling, the car above with 200hp just somehow felt funner [ATTACH type="full"]25545[/ATTACH] Here's a guy that put a 6 rotor (essentially 3x the stock displacement) into a purpose built drift car.. love that sound [MEDIA=facebook]id=635896551644337;type=v[/MEDIA] We've put a bunch of money into our old Dodges now.. Got a 2wd diesel I want to fix up, super clean truck with NO RUST How it looked when I bought it.. .Drives like a dream, every option you could get was on it, was a grandpa truck that pulled a camper to florida every year I'll keep it pretty stock, good mileage comfy cruiser kinda truck [ATTACH type="full"]25546[/ATTACH] Little hammer and dolly work, little white rattle can paint, new rims and tires and it's presentable at least [ATTACH type="full"]25547[/ATTACH] My dually I repainted back in 2014, Same paint code as the '93 Rx7, really cool color (Montego blue).. it was at 600something HP but I'm detuning it to work truck specs now, 350-400hp or so. 12V cummins, 6 speed, VGT turbo with my own controller, that power comes on smooth but fast, it'll break loose on you at 50mph in 5th if the conditions aren't just perfect.
