I found a good deal on a 1996 Chevy S-10 this weekend, and it was too good to pass up. (I'm $800 under budget

) So what have I gotten myself into now...

I'm a little nervous, but know that it will work out nicely in the end.

It is a 5-speed manual and the body isn't too bad, but may need just a little work. Nothing that I couldn't take care of.

Are there any issues with ODBII computer control stuff? Will I have to take out a bunch of warning lights in the dash? What other things do you think will cause problems in converting this car?

Thanks for all the help I've received so far, I'm sure I'll be back with some more questions in the future.
