There's nothing particularly that I dislike about them... other than that they burn gas. lol

I still get like 500-600 gal of free gas every year from another scrapper down the road from my recycling yard, so I might try running it on that if I fix the engine that's in it.

Regardless what I do, I'm gonna spend about $300-$500 on it before it's able to be driven anywhere.

As it sits, it needs at least a set of head gaskets [we think] and of course, it'll need a timing belt kit and water pump because who wants to blow up an engine over a $100 belt kit?
