Default Muh baby

So I have decided.. Since I smashed my baby, I bought another cheapo car for 500 (A baretta) that I will drive this winter. I will rebuild the engine while its wrecked and that radiator support it taken out of it... Figure I will have plenty of time this winter to do so.. and I wont have to take a loan out to do it! Its going to be a long haul, but I think its gonna be worth it! I will keep you all posted on progress and of course any problems I run into! I am going to start compiling a list of pictures of progress, although I already have the front torn apart I will start takin pics now.. So if anyone has suggestions or such for me, lemmie know! Thanks!

What kind of beretta did you pick up?

I used to have a 92 GTZ with the 2.3 HO. Fasst little car. Quicker than the neon by fair amount i'd say.

Spud: I am gonna get pics here shortly when I figure out whats wrong with my camera.. so many broken things, so little time...

As for the baretta, its a 95 base model POS... I gotta replace a front left caliper because its draggin my brakes >.< That will be my weekend project.. along with a new water pump in the van

I get the refund checks at the beginning of the semester.. mine was 3000ish this year.. and its gone.. costs alot being out on your own...

I'd first look at your budget, then figure out what you wanna do with the engine as far as going turbo or N/A.
