Some Noobie questions....

[Cobrakid14]

Hey everyone,
I have a couple of questions and im hoping i can get anwsers. I built a Shelby Cobra kit car last year and had a blast doing it. Recently wanting to get another project car to work on. My daily driver is a hand me down saturn and i cant really do much to a saturn. Anyways a freind of mine has a 92 Talon TSI FWD that shes looking to get rid of. The body is smashed on the front quarter panel but theres no damage past the body panel. Also, there is a crack int he exhaust pipe that would need to be taken care of. Other then those to major issues theres nothign else wrong with the car. It has nearly 120, 000 miles on it. MY questions are if i sell my saturn and work on this and use it as a daily driver for a while.. would it be worth it? also. "performance" wise.. what wo[uld you do... I talked to her last night and she said she was looking to get 1500 Bux for it.. so im sure i could talk her down to a grand.. would it be worth it? thanks guys ~ Jason

well reliablity i dunno cause im not experienced with how reliable the saturn cars are. But, performance wise.. yeah.. thats like comparing a volvo to a vette. The Tsi will have so much more potential than a saturn could ever have. If this is going to be a daily driver you may not want to get too crazy with mods because reliabilty issues do come up more often the more you mod. Just do stage one mods and that will be one nice daily driver .
