Picked up an SVT today. Needs a few things taken care of, but drove home nice with no issues. That's a good start.

Can I assume you're not the one that took that picture? I don't believe for a minute that was taken in Princeton on 12/24.

That was the picture from the ad. I was lazy, and that was easier than going outside and taking a photo, posting to photobucket, etc.
I don't really have a plan for the car. Kind of figured I just drive it as is and tinker on it in between other projects. Don't plan to try and sell it any time soon, but as usual if someone needs it more than I do, it could happen.
I don't mind the blue, I'd call it my second choice. I'd still like to get another silver one with the 6 spoke rims. For some reason that is the combo I really like.

I'm a big fan of that blue. I'd love that car with EAPs.

I'll just look stupid now, rather than later, and ask. What are EAP's?

I'm guessing he's talking wheels?

Gunmetal 15 spoke wheels
Or the black leather recaro seats

Yup, the wheels. I have a set on my car (plus 2 cracked ones waiting to go to the junkyard).

If you're going to drive it just be sure the timing belt has been done fairly recently.

Timing belt, brakes, clutch, and some other mechanical stuff, have all been serviced "recently". That's where this was a good one for me, cause that's the sort of stuff I don't want to mess with. Now replacing the rusty doors, rusty hood, broken side mirror, and the little interior issues is the stuff I'm used to working on. Nice thing is that I still have a pair of clean doors sitting in storage that I'll finally have a good use for.
