Hey, This all depends on your bank account. If you are not into serious restoration work or not in a area to get things done, I would suggest finding a car already "up and running" from someone who wouldn`t lead you down "The Garden Path", but for God sake have it checked out before you buy. There is a lot of good looking junk out there for big bucks that I wouldn`t get near for fear of Tetnus. These little guys price wise are getting higher and higher and if you buy a "rolling compost pile" you could end up with enough funds invested that you could have bought a Mercedes-Benz. Just be careful. Where are you by the way ?
