DD for $500-$1K
I have no idea what exactly I am looking for, so I'm seeing who's got what. I know I'm being cheap, but right now I need something to drive until my Supra is back in the game, or for when she needs repairs. I'll take anything from a Civic to a nice lifted Jeep. My only must have is manual transmission. I do my own repairs and engine builds, so I am willing to take something that runs, but needs some TLC, not a complete rebuild.
EDIT - Manuals only. I hate slush boxes. If I could, a mazda miata would be AMAZING. Or a 240. I have a thing for RWD after my supra, but then again I'm only so picky... Looks don't matter, it's a beater... Plus, I plan on upgrading anything I drive tastefully. Even if I have to sand it down and primer the whole damn thing black so it doesn't look riced/ghetto-ed out

I have PM'ed him, hope to hear something good. Waiting on parts for my baby is killing me... I plan on upgrading and making any DD I get better, I don't do rice. Stock body lines and sleeper style are the way to go. So in other words, I'll re-sell it once I don't need it, but in better condition. Thanks for the info!

nothing, it is a beater, its not the cleanest ef hatch, its a 500 dollar beater, that got him around to work and such when he was working on his cars. he just recently had a timing belt and all the regular maintenance done. if i had the cash i would buy it right now.
