Hahaha, feels like it since any others comparable to it are going for $1500 + around these parts.

As for plans, the first part is to repair the body damage that on it and take her apart to paint it with the stock two tone pattern but with the following colors;

http://www.paintforcars.com/kitu_frostbluemetallic.html
Also, I had considered doing some bedliner work on the undersides of the rocker panels and other places prone to rust.

As for the rest I plan on dong any modifications on the motor and drivetrain that'll help fuel mileage, and putting a lift kit on it. Actually I already had a friend of my older brother offer to sell me a 6in lift kit for it... done know if I wanna go that high though.
