I remember when I posted that my first SC was a flood recovery guys were chiming in with 'good luck with the future car fire' and 'you shouldn't even buy an SC if you'd buy a flood recovery'. And my first one ran like a champ and is still running like a champ with minimal maintenance.

Not all salvages are created equal.

Nope. Actually I replaced the one seat which was totally frozen when I got it. Cost me like 40 bucks for a fully functional replacement seat.

Looked good as hell too. Was slower than dirt which is why I went with an NA-T, but I still miss my first love.

Cost me 2k. 5 speed with really good looking paint. Waxed up people used to always tell me that it looked brand new.

Don't let these dudes get to you with their negativity. Do your thing the way you want the best you can afford. They talk like you have to spend huge money on your car, but they do last forever and you can get by without overhauling the entire thing.
