Ahh, a project car, you didn't say that. In the Uk the
same car would be in the $600 to $1500 range for a
good one. Bad ones like yours would be less and
probably wouldn't sell at any price

and, never forget, adding $1000 worth of parts to a
$1000 car doesn't make it a $2000 car, more like a
$1200 or maybe $1500 car

Glad it's all sorted out now
