Background: I got this car for 500 bucks and put a non-turbo engine in it, got it going and drove as my first car for about 6 months. It was an absolute pile but I had fun. Now after 3 ish years and a lot of mistakes, money wasted and all that good stuff. The car is tolerable, decently quirk, and somewhat reliable (not really) redid a lot of the "fixing" i did before hand. rewired it and slaped a turbo on it along with all the other goodies. AAAnd did all the body work patch the massive rust holes and paint it with the cheapest single stage white they had. Next car I paint (chances are extremely high its another DSM) ill be doing A LOT of things differently. In the end not a nice car by any means but not a pile oof crap. I'm still having dun with it (and stressing about it) just like when I was 16.

The ultimate goal is to have a clean mean street machine. 400 hp nothing crazy, maybe 500 haha. I don't think that will ever be the case for this particular car, however I do have have a spare 1g shell with NO RUST!! I think maybe 5 or so years when I am a bit more stable finically (and in general) I will began my dream build.
