Thanks..Yeah pretty much just fixing a little things at a time and cleaning the car very good but i don't know if i should start my 5 speed swap or starting buying my turbo parts. My friend actually has a ct26 out of his mr2 and has another one from a 7mgte, I am thinking about start off with that turbo for now and upgrade later, any suggestions?
BTW guys the Blitz NUR Spec Sounds amazing :-)

I would go get the frame checked out to make sure its not bent. That car really scares me, the previous owner was a straight ricer. I mean look at that intake and exhaust. Not to mention he is talking about throwing in a radiator with the car. Thats like as shady as it gets.
IF the frame is okay then i would swap out the engine/tranny and even that radiator. I wouldnt trust anything the previous owner touched.

On my old camry i had the bumper repainted because of a car accident. 1 yr later you could see the paint was stating to fade.
Your car might look good now but give it a few years and i bet the cars paint will start to fade. The more sunlight your car gets the faster the paint will fade and the less sunlight the longer the paint will last. But either way the paint will fade.
P.S. the smoked out headlights are dumb. Why would you want to decrease visibility?

not quite. Their is more to a paint job then just the painter. Look at a Ford Focus and a lexus/toyota. Its quite clear toyota uses a far better quality paint. They say 70 percent your paint job is the prep work. Odds are Macco is gonna cut corners. Not to mention the quality of their primer/paint/clear coat arent gonna be top notch.
