Ok gotta let you know where i stand on this. the car is a 95' Eclipse GS with blown transmission. this car will be payed off by the time i return to North Carolina this June. the body has some rust damage (two spots on the front strut towers) and the bodykit needs to be returned to stock or replaced. whole car could stand to be repainted. the exhaust has been cut to crap (muffler removed) and needs to be replaced. the engine was rebuilt a couple years ago after tossing the timing belt. was running very strong last time i was able to drive the car. the suspension needs to be replaced. now my dilemma is do i put this thing on jack stands and restore it to be a great looking GS with alittle extra(will stay N/A, if i keep it.) Or do i get it back to running order and sale it? if i sale it I will be replacing it with a 95-99 GSX as i am a huge fan of AWD/turbo setups. now if i keep it the car will be receiving:
new transmission (more than likely a neon swap)
cat back exhaust (apexi or greddy)
spring/strut setup (tokico or similiar)
evo brembo brakes (actually rather easy for me to find) either car will receive the brakes and rims.
evo MR bbs rims (taken from my evo as i have 18's on it now)
stock 98-99 bumpers F/R, sideskirts, taillights or Urethane bodykit (currently has the blitz style kit, which i actually like.)
i'm tired of being torn between the two decisions and finally decided that maybe i need a public opinion about it.
