Re: Need advice PLEASE!

i'd go for it if the drivetrain is in good ship. even though the body cladding is fairly pricey, its not to unreasonably hard to find

Re: Need advice PLEASE!

start at 1100, if he doesn't know what he has then he'll take it. To him it's just a fast S10...

Re: Need advice PLEASE!

yeah if u have pics that will help lots. sounding as rough as it is i would definatly wouldnt start any higher than 1500-2000. and the motor might be running good, but im sure its been ran hard and not to well taken care of and probably on its last leg
