Perhaps I'll just have to build it ground up from the best parts from two dozen models.

My dad wouldn't let me, given that it's almost half his money. Hoping I can pawn it off to my brother when he has the money.

Sucks

My parents gave me this car, as my sister needed money, so she sold it to them, who then gave it to me

Too easy. Would've been easy to follow up if there was I suppose.

Hey hey, I would've used my own money, but I couldn't sway my dad towards the FTO at all, so it had to be compromise.

My FTO will be half my money
I'll probably get around $2,000 for this car,
And the other 2000-2500 for the FTO will be my money

Got your eyes on any at the moment?
The one I posted about a while ago that needs work is still there, haha. But if I think I'll commit to getting one, I reckon I'll just spend more and get a better one.

You can polish a turn, but in the end, it's still a turd underneath

If it wasn't for the Ks I would be putting a bid in on this

Ahh, yeah. Always the Ks. Most of the one's where I am (South Aus) are either high K, auto, or both.
edit:
Or have hideous kits.
