Can't find a parts car

[clawhammer]

Well, for the past month I've been slowly making progress on my new MR2. I'm pulling the engine and putting a turbo engine in it, but the problem is that I can't seem to find a parts car, one that has bene in an accident, but still has a good engine in it. I just can't seem to afford a JDM rear clip, and even if I could, transportation would be a problem. I'm going to college this fall, and I'm don't have all my finances set for college yet, so that's a problem also.

Autos can be just as good as manuals if they have some work done to it. Consider doing some modifications starting with a shift kit. It will probably be cheaper and easier then converting it to manual.

I made real nice with a junkyard secretary..Ugly as sin, but worth it to have the run of the place while the boss is out! You can find some really nice tuner parts because the dumb-ass racer kids are constantly wrecking their cars and the insurance companies pretty much have to total the car , and they always end up at a junkyard for scrap somewhere...

And all of a sudden I find two, and can't decide which one to buy.
