ok, so im sure many of you remember that i had an accident about a year ago...
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/off-topic/129596-accident-today-need-opinions.html
and on thursday, i purchased and towed home a purple 2000 dodge neon, my current neon is a salsa red 2000 plymouth neon.....the one i purchased need a water pump and had quite a bit of damage on the driver side door, i got it for $700 and it would have been $700 plus for new parts, and i will now have a mini neon store...for future parts needs, etc....
with some help from a family friend, i decided i would take a week or two of after school time to swap over needed parts, etc...and get it all running again....
we started today around 10 am, and at about 6 or 7 tonight, we had the whole thing done...i was pretty surprised that it went as smooth as it did, and im very happy!
here are some pics...

not sure yet, future as soon as tomorrow and the next couple of days would be to make sure it doesnt leak coolent or anything...lol
but seriously, id like to do some performance work on it. im not 100% sure where to start, because i dont have alot of money, and i dont know how much i want to invest in this neon....i would love to have an srt4, but im not financially capable of that currently...lol if i do decide to keep going with this, i would like to think that i would get enough done to get it turbo'd...
