I bought mine as a second car to drive about 2 miles to/from work. Since then shes been to the Keys, all over Fla, Fla to DC, Fla to NY- things happen, you never know. Build her up right and well.

Next will be taking a look at drive shaft and hopefully this inexpensive Rover will give me a couple years.

Just be careful with the decking. If they take too much off you can mess up your intake and how it seals. I've seen missing engines and all kinds of weird crap just because they took too much off.
