Depends on how much you want painted
If you can survive with the insides of the door sills and so on to be a different color/have a visible paint line then the cheapest way would be matting it all down with 240 or finer sandpaper, applying a coat of primer on a rattlecan, then doing the same with base coats and clear coats, also on spraycans

If you have a compressor then buying a cheap paint gun (top filling ones are nice) and buying your paint, clear coat and thinner on cans can actually be cheaper than buying just rattlecans, and its also quicker & will give a nicer result

Note; if you still wanna go with the rattlecans; get one of these. It'll save you some time and hurting fingers

A vocational high school with an auto body program will ususally do a car for a grand or less. Won't be perfect but they do a good "ten by ten" paintjob (perfect looking from ten feet away at ten miles an hour).

IF SOMEDAY THE SPEED KILLS ME DONT MOURN BECAUSE I DIED SMILING

No, part out what you can to other collectors.

>>17859185
not parting it out. it was a project car for me and my now deceased father and I intend on finishing it. It's my baby.

>>17859185
Fuck is wrong with you?

>>17858733
Is numbers matching important to you? Id rather have a car i can drive than a numbers matching PoS. Throw in the 350, keep the 300 to rebuild when you feel like it. If the car becomes a rarity, swap in the 300 later.

No idea, but they kept it up for a while. The Integra was basically a different Civic.

it's a civic coupe

Crx was meant to be more sporty, it is the civic si mechanic, susp. And brakes, but with shorter wheel base, slightly lighter and with 2 seats.

Not a lot of rust, most in this

>>17858181
That's a fail. But can be fixed for $20 in materials.

>>17858181
>Not a lot of rust
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of the underbody was pretty much fucked. And rusted-through structural parts are an automatic inspection failure in most euro countries.

A Tesla.

Specs Comparison between the Cayman GT4(right) and the 718 Cayman(left)

i don't think anyone says the 718 is bad?
but i'd probably get the cheaper yet just as potent M2 though.

Postin' superior MR 4 cylinder turbo Euro sports car

>>17858010
What year? Can't comment specifically on Durangos, but if they're anything like the WK2 Cherokees they share platforms with, it'd be a solid bet. Can't go wrong with the early Pentastar V6/Mercedes 5 speed combo.

It would be a new 2017. $30k out the door financed with a good rate thanks to our combined credit. Both employed and no debt. We're looking to save our cash for a down payment on a house in a couple of years.

The car seems to be a good compromise. I won't feel like a pansy driving it and it has all the benefits of a minivan.

>>17858026
Are the new ones 8 speed auto like a lot of the Grand Cherokees? If so, it's a ZF gearbox which is also top notch.
If you weren't after the seven seater option, I'd just recommend a Grand Cherokee, but then I don't know what your region's MSRP is like. Sound's like you want the "minivanness" of having seven seats anyway.

>grandma gave me a car
>lame econobox

Fucking millennials. Ungrateful shit.

Just use it as a cheap daily.

>>17857818

How about making lots of money with it?

Find some group with same car owners, they usually know cheap parts, or sell them.

>>17857776
So are you saying all cars have the potential for cheap parts?

I want to make sure I dont buy a moneypit (yes I know all old cars are moneypits).

>>17857781
There is cheap parts, but usually in used condition. Or you need to wait restock. Group buys are also good option. I bought oil pan brace with 3 people and saved almost 60€.
