Money???? I have forgotten what that looks like =).... I know a guy who
wreched his 3000GT and he's willing to help me out, but he says hewants
it to be a show truck and not a daily driver, but he wants to use my only
means of Transportation, which happens to be my beloved Dak!!!! He says
he might sell me the whole car for 300, since the junk yard is only
gonna' give em' 200..... it's only totalled cuz' of that whole
radiator/hand thing..... (he hit a tree).... I'll keep the list posted.
Godd point about the HP and the AWD, I'd probably just stick with minimal
performance mods to the 3000GT motor just because of that reason. Not
only that, but I'd have to get a custom made Drive-Shaft cuz' my Dak is a
long-bed, and it would be in danger of flexing due to it's length
(although a good aluminum DS would remedy that =).... I have a lot to
consider, but it may just be worth it!
