True but I already took those considerations into thought, I previously stated other issues like the suspension, but even with the project as a whole it would still could be cheaper to drop in a new engine and tranny ( which would be a great Idea) so right there your looking at 700 at least, then if the other stuff is bad you would have to add on of course but still could cheaper then going out and buying a new or used car at least when your buying the stuff yourself you can do a check by check of things and have done the right way the first time around instead later having to take it back to where ever you got the car and deal with there crap about what they cover and what they dont cover and so what about interior? that the least of one of the problems if it even is one, and when you drop a couple hundred end and something goes bad you take it back with the warrenty and get a better one,but still like you said it might not even be worth all the work in the first place there was a lot of neon neglect going on lol and it seems like what ever route is choosen it won't be pretty, and will cost some money, a used car isnt so bad for a cheap price but then you have the maintanence of that car and the miles and crap. I hope that post didn't affend anyone becuase that wasn't it's intent, hope some of it was helpfull and good luck !!
