First project buy - can someone help me with some advice and/or opinions?

There are some great deals in California & Oregon and as long as you get a running car its not that expensive to ship it to the east cost. I'm in Halifax and we're doing a fair bit of panel replacement on an H code 73 Duster. All depends on what you want and how much work you're willing to put into it. I know my next vehicle will be coming from the west coast!

let me put it this way" I'd prefer to be able to say "look what I built" than "look what I bought"

I have a motorcycle that most people can't identify (pisses the harley guys off once they see the radiator :toothy10:) and I always get "I didn't know they made those" to which the answer is simply "they don't"

But I do know what you're saying ...i don't mind welding/fabrication, making my own parts ...but I would have to farm out the paint & 85% of the prep $$$. I'll learn my own interior work and I'm not afraid to learn most of my own motor work.
