from what you can looks to be pretty good, are you doing resto or modify, if modify for the $1000 odd dollars you wanted for the sedan you should have kept it for parts thats of course unless you needed the money to buy this one

i did think about that, but if i wanted a modified one id just buy yours, alot easier than doin it myself. but this ones stayin original, to good to mod, thats obviosly besides droppin it down
