Did you find that by word of mouth, or is there a good trader site for local stuff?
When I lived in NC, the Carolina Bargain Trader (our weekly bulletin board magazine) had a website, where all the printed ads were listed, and you could also add more for the next printing, so those with computers could see new ads before those without. Sure wish our Bulletin Board had a site...

autotrader, guy wanted 700.00 i offered 350 lol, we settled on 500...i would have given him 700....decent crx's are hard to find these days...going to put the b18 in it this weekend...then start gathering items for a turbo kit here and there, as I can afford them anyway....

if I would paint the roof white it would look like papa smurf...lol.....anyone with decent bondo skills wanna come and practice on it? haha....I did one side, never used the stuff in my life, does not look the greatest but hopefully it will keep it from rusting more this winter....
going to be doing the motor swap this weekend, hopefully starting friday night, and finishing up saturday sometime, if anyone is interested in attenting or helping out....good experience...
also anyone know of any turbo parts for sale that will fit a b18, cheap!!

I'd love to help, but I have a buddy coming up from Georgia this weekend to visit.
I'm somewhat proficient in body work; I'm no expert, but I've hobbied around with it for nearly 25 years.

If the top was red then it would be papa smurf. White would be like smurfette. Bondo will only hide the rust over winter it will still rust under it and the bondo will then crack off.

Well considering its $310 new and only a few months old made by Hks, I don't feel $250 is bad @ all..... 8)
