My opinion, if the car is cool to hang at your parents, is to wait. You're going to be temporarily disconnected from the car anyways. Save up 50-60k over a few years and come back to this. Then drop 3k into your suspension & brakes (starting with LBP Disc Brake pieces right here in the FOR SALE section; all this stuff will still be available for a while, especially through fabo).
EDIT: My buddy saved his *** off in the military (4 years navy) and is not only building his dream nova that he's had since high school, he started his own screenprinting business. Found a sexy girl from Tennessee too!
