Looked at the Mazda tonight and came home a little disappointed.
It Could still be a possibility I guess, but it was in much worse shape than he told me on the phone. I'm guessing an additional $1000- 1500 in extra repairs before I even start the conversion. Patience is a virtue so I may have to practice being virtuous a little longer.
