Nothing wrong with adulting, what car did you get.

guys, thanks for being awesome and insightful. threads die all the time & I thought I'd give this one a proper send off.

My mazda needed an engine, a transmission, and new suspension. I was lucky enough to find a guy selling the motor & trans from a 14 st for $700 but truly everything after that was out of pocket and up front for me to test out building a dream.

I'm in my mid 20s with good credit.. I decided to finance a new car instead of build one :/ not as fun, but a financially sound decision.

So where is the car now? I'm local to you can am interested in picking up where you left off.

Also, the junking option got pushed back to Friday. I had some interest in the chassis
