Default Finally Got A New Ride!

Its been over a month since I totaled my ej8 right after I did my ls swap. Put 497 miles on it before a lady stopped in the merge lane in front of me. Picked up this virgin coupe from my mechanic at Pro Performance. All it needs is a new front/rear bumber and the body would be near perfect. I havent decided what suspension to use so yalls input would be nice but not looking to spend a grip on it since I plan to turbo this little sohc beast. Going to be the daily driver so I can go too crazy since Im starting college in the fall so moneys going to be tight! All comments welcome! Thanks for looking

Old Car:




New Ride:




What do yall think?
