    Looks like a decent buy for $1300.

    It does have high miles but for the price and what condition its in, nice snag.

    OHHHHHH.

    I read it as miles.

    the only thing the previous owner neglected was the rockers, i ordered a new set and did the work my self (Save $$$) other than that it's in really good shape. It was always kept in his garage since new.

    the rockers i bought were slide-on ones, i just used a grinder to get rid of the rust on the rocker panel lip, slid them in place and welded the on.

    I have been seeing a green gp in my town since summer and when I first saw your car I thought you were that guy except he has newfoundland plates and you are from new brunswick. Nice colour I love the green.

    Hardware store, such as Lowes.

    Go to Autozone, buy a large Spectre air filter (In my Sig, $40)

    Go to Lowes buy some PVC piping.

    You also need a rubber coupler to hold the PVC pipe on the Throttle Body.

    Then you need 3 clamps. One for Rubber coupler on TB, one for Rubber coupler on PVC pipe and one for Air filter on PVC (But the Spectre Filter already comes with one, so you need to buy two more)

    Drill a hole in the PVC pipe to put your IAT sensor in, and lastly, buy yourself some paint if you want to paint the PVC pipe, or just leave it white. Your choice.

    Another option: just buy the filter and stick it on the end of the TB and call it a day.

    Just look at my Sig, you can see my Intake and how simple it is to make.

    That sucks. Drill some holes and ziptie your bumper back together. Ghetto body work ftw.
