I would buy my TII and then put the rest of the money into making it better. Hell, I wish I could afford to keep it and do that myself.

yea buy unique's T2

I have to wait until the insurance company looks at it to come up with a new price.
|
so this board is about fifty fifty on the car. well then what would you say is worst condition youd buy a 7 in? Example if the car needs new everything then its gonna costs thousands more were as if the car only need a new engine the body can be saved. Whats the worst condition you would buy??
Has anyone done anything similar to this other than mazdaenthused?? |
It depends on what you're good at and who you know. If you know a body guy, buy one with a bad body...like mine. If you know an engine guy, get a rust free shell with a blown engine.
|
If you've got 5k to blow now, and a couple more to help mod, and are new to the scene, I'd recommend buying one that is close to stock with a good body, and maybe a newer motor so you can (hopefully) avoid any major problems until you can get more experience with the car.
Good luck! |
Thanks for the help everyone. I am out on the search and will hopefully be posting some pics of a stock 7 in a couple weeks.

here's what i did:
i knew i wanted more power than my crappy 86NA, and i knew i wanted a standard. enter TII. so i wanted a turbo in either black, grey, or white and i wanted to eventually put 17" rims on it, rebuild the engine for reliability, and get some nice S5 rear lights, and find one with a decent interior (no cracks on dash). i looked all summer and found one for $3000 with a blown engine. it even had the rims, exhaust, and S5 lights already put on. my mechanic rebuild the engine in my S4 na, so i knew he could do a good job. i went to him, and now i have one of the pimpest cars i can think of...all for under $9000 what else could you get for $9000? a kia https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif |
personally, i'd go with a good looking car that runs bad/not at all. engine work and parts replacement is something you can do yourself and save lots of money on labor. body work isn't.
