Yet another stupid question.
Okay, I'm new to this site and so far all of my posts have been pretty much worthless. This post is no different. This is just one more minute of your life wasted, and you will never get it back. I appologize. My question is: I found a G20 that I can pick up for around $500. The catch is the engine is blown and a broken window has exposed the interior to the weather for a while. It's also an automatic. So far three strikes. Do you think it is worth buying as a DET project, with a manual conversion somewhere down the line? I'm working off a pitiful budget of around $3000. Should I just pop a DE in there and be happy, or just walk away? Opinions please. Go easy on me, I'm young and naive.

To Young and Naive:
 It really depends on what you want to do with the car. $500 isnt bad considering...although, I highly doubt $3000 will get the DET installed and running, you may get lucky tho... All of us started out with a DE and worked up from there...many a dream to get a turbo....so if your looking for a car to get you from point A to point B and your willing to invest in the repairs, go for it. You can always upgrade later... What year is it BTW? AND if the window was busted, check the pan (floor boards) for rust not an easy thing to fix... Oh yeah, welcome!!!

I think I was just having delusions of grandeur. If I get it, I'd probably start with a used DE and work my way up. Any ideas what a full interior costs? I haven't looked at it yet, so I'm not sure exactly how much damage it really has. Thanks for the advice.

interior should be around $1000-2500 depends where you go, but shouldnt be that bad. might as well do the interior the way you want to so later on you wont have to bother, and for the DET, id always estimate double the amount just in case something goes wrong. btw...
