car mods....on the cheap!

SCORE: Purchased an aftermarket 2.5" cat back exhaust for $90 w/ a generic cat, sold the cat for $10 to a recycler by the name the "King of Cores". 

SCORE: Purchased a set of used and rusty Bilstien sport struts and used H&R springs for $60 off of Craig's List, turns out they were on a Ice Race car.

SCORE: Good freind Toby is leaving the state, to move to California, (the bastage!), I bought his rusty and hacked Techtonics Long tube header for $40!  It may take some jurry rigging to make work but...

We have a car!

We just picked up a 1995 VW Golf 2.O, 5spd, w/ 195k miles.....it has failed control arm bushings (makes it scarey to drive over 50mph!), a very cracked windsheild, rear bumper isn't on the car, exhaust 1/2 missing, seats are trash, and it shows signs of being in a minor fender benderS, along w/ some interesting metal cancer.   Supposidly the previous owner just put a new clutch in it!  All this for $250!!!!
