[V8] I could fix it or buy a different one...

[Seamus O'Carey]

I have a dilemma:  should I fix the car have or buy a different one that
might be in better shape.

I'm looking specifically at this car, which seems to be in pretty good shape
and just had the timing belt done:

I *really* want a black car, but for almost the same price as the above
black V8, I can get the p&p heads Ron was talking about before (which
includes all the gaskets needed to do the job) as well a complete timing
belt/water pump kit.  Even though my car won't be black, it should be a
rather nice running 120k mi. V8, and to be honest the pearl color is
starting to grow on me.  I think it would look pretty damn good with some
BBS LM's and tinted windows.

Anyway, what concerns me most is that doing the head job and timing belt
stuff means I'll have to make sure and set the timing perfectly.  I really
hate the thought of screwing up the timing and bending brand new valves.  ><
