No space to work on it, 7 cars at the house I'm living at and the driveway is taken up. Also no engine hoist. All i have is a truck to go get parts.

Let me see if i can work out the details. I have a truck and a dolly to tow it's only space, time, and $. Cause as of now I'm carless that's why i kinda wanted a running one. I'm driving my Uncles dually diesel around to and from work.

I'm gonna call you after work guy. This is sounding like a good plan, I would just want a little cheaper shell. 1200 is a little steep. I wanna be able to register and give the car a tune up with the extra cash. If there is any.

You'll spend 3 times that amount getting another car that is running, and it will be thrashed, get a clean shell, cheap engine and tinker with it until you can get is registered. But i can assure you, a running 2k fox will look and run like shit. At least i can do a majority of the work and you can finish it when time/funding permits.

You'll thank me when you decide that i'm right and up up with a clean fox you could probably flip if needed as well and be more proud to drive around in.

If you know you're going to mod a car to do XYZ at some level beyond stock, don't spend a penny more than necessary on the base to get started. Obviously I don't mean cheap out and get bent frames/unibody or rust destroyed panels, just nothing has to be particularly nice if you're going to change it.

Exactly, 1200 for a clean paint, undamaged body with clean full interior is as good a deal as you could hope for.
