I can sympathize. Every time I look in Appearance thread I get depressed.

Worse yet is having a near great car with minor imperfections... Bumper scratch, fender dent (still don't know where it came from), just small stuff that when repaired doesn't make as much of a mental difference as a full paint job would.

Anyway, vehicle in OP seems alright enough to me. We are, at heart, 8 to 16 year old economy cars after all. (Not as an "in your face" thing, since we have our hobbies that say otherwise.)

It actually does have potential.....some fresh paint/body work and a nice set of wheels and tires would definitely help out the exterior

thats what im sayin! since he obviously aint got the money to turn it into something sexy better off just using it for what its worth and having some fun!

i had a 92 sentra that i baja'd and daily drove it lasted forever! it ended up getting towed out of my apts from a cracked windshield from the hood flying up on me on a 3ft jump! no joke tires were 3ft in the air! i hit it about 55-60 and it just bowed the tires in but still rolled! good times
