Help me decide on a Hoopty replacement

Mike, don't mean to be a little off topic, but wouldn't it be better to meet the seller in a neutral location instead of your home? Not meaning to cause worry....just looking out for you. Too many news stories about bad Craigslist deals, at least around here.

Already checked her out, all good....believe me if I didn't have the warm fuzzies it wouldn't be happening....

I'll take trinkets that break with age for $1000, Alex.

I’ll fix all those trinkets if I don’t have to deal with rust any day, I’ve looked at some pretty high priced junk over the last three weeks that are all ready to explode with rust... it’s bad ....

Mike, have you ever thought about bulletproofing something like a XJ Jeep or coil sprung Wrangler- with a 4.0 of course? These things are approaching 1gen cult status. Find a nice southern example, and do that ziebart thing and give a real overhaul. I think it’d be worth the investment.

Amen. It is amazing what used cars are going for with rust holes in the rockers, etc. Good luck with the new Hoopty Mike! Are you going to attempt any rust proofing or just drive it until it rots?

If it is as advertised, 2017-2018 was its first winter in Maine then I will have it Fluid Filmed annually.

Well it’s done. I bought it!!

Car is clean and tight, Hoopty must have been thrashed on city streets as it never was as tight as this car....

That's got pimp daddy written all over it!

Clean looking rig Mike.

Straight outta a Scorsese movie.
Long may she run.

I was thinking the same thing. All Mike needs is a hat with a feather in it and a tour of his stable.

Now I’ve got to rape and pillage Hoopty for every thing relatively new on it. Plus the wheels and brand new Michelin’s...

Have a fairly long list in my head of things to save for later. Shame that the interior color is different as all switch’s are color keyed to match.

Once that is done it goes for steel..
