I'm in my mid-thirties with a young family (toddlers). I simply don't have the time or financial ability to do a project car of my own in the foreseeable future.
i'd be very careful with that car then ity could be a real headache. i worry about the wiring behind that dash.. some real hacks out there won't know anything without seeing it in person.. those pictures suck. can see plenty wrong wich woudl scare me.... its a little over an hour away? thats nothing. go look at it in person. don't be afraid to just walk away.. he came down to 15k fast for a reason.. probably go lower too..
clean darts can still be found in that price range. it may take some time to find but they are out there.. i think i'd wait and find one a little more unmolested...
