Badass! :tup: Milo Johnson's on Quince in Escondido. They have been around for god knows how long....fast, reliable, and great pricing.

that looks pretty badass! congrats to yer brother!

i've been throwing around the idea of a 'rocco project...they're fun cars...and if you look hard enough, you find a SMOKING deal!

as per the alignment, if you plan on doing the suspension, hold off on the alignment, you will need to do that anyway if you mess with the suspension (you almost need to on these cars!).

got any more pics? that thing looks like it's in pretty good shape from far away.

I was thinking of buying that car to have, once again, a daily driver since my former daily driver has somehow become a dedicated race car. Congrats man!

How much did he pay for it?

Where is "around here" at? Ive got a great alignment shop, many peeps from here have used them with great success.

got in it for 1G, ordered some OEM rotors w/ Hawk pads.... and a power bleeder (since I need to bleed my brakes also)

as for an alingment shop, I'm in calremont anything with in a 20 min drive would be great! total budget car as He is just using it to get the school (less than 5 miles each way) and the beach to surf (3.5 miles each way) so he got it insureed THRU AIG for ~$600 for 6 months (not bad as his record is not the cleanest)

Now brakes and the alignment (no suspension mods as of yet it is already on Race springs and Bilstiens, has sways, ect ect) Owner did all the mods then didn't get an aligment.


passenger door has a good ding in it!
Passenger door outside handle doesn't work
Passenger door lock motor keeps locking adn unlocking uncontolrably
Coolling fan is on a switch (onwer gave me new therm switch to install)

but the important part is its smogged! and the drive train feels solid! :tup:
