DriftX - yeah, i want to rip it off now, but dont wanna have any primer spots over where ill have to cover the holes they drilled. ill probably end up takin it off if i do a strawberry face conversion or a sil40, but thats gonna be a while..

and about keepin it simple, im not too big a fan of body kits and if i do the s15 front end swap, ill most likely keep it all oem looking

95240sxmjm - i wish i had that kind of money lol but at least ill have time to really get to know the car before i really do anything major

ryguy - thanks, i like the color too, but its really dirty and needs to be cleaned...just waitin for the weather clear up some cause i dont wanna clean it if its gonna get rained on

LA_phantom_240 - the ones ive been seeing around have all been goin for between like 2500 and 3200, so i just got lucky with this one

oh yeah, i forgot to say that the previous owner did the h4 conversion, so my lights are really bright and clear my blazers lights were super oxidized....and finally, i finally started putting money away today for coilovers. not quite sure which brand yet, but i have until like the middle or end of summer to think about it
