I am now the proud owner of a '84 FJ20E S12 :mrgreen:

Got back with it late last night. This is sundaysorrow's old car. Motor needs a rebuild, but after that it should be a damn nice car.

Trying to decide now whether to sell my CA20E S12 to fund the buildup on this car, or keep them both.

Hell of a time getting it off the trailer too ;). Took all three of my roomates plus me to get those damned tow straps to let go. I was real close to just saying screw it, I bought the damage waiver...then just cut the straps, but I really hate having to do stuff like that. Ah well, she's home safe....that's all that matters.

Still musing about what to do with the fleet's worth of cars I own. I think I'm going to keep the Escort as the daily, the black camaro because she's too pretty and too much fun to drive, and the FJ because she's such a unique car...and should be pretty fast (comparatively), and has the brakes/IRS my CA doesn't have. Definately selling the convertible since it's worth a good bit of money (~$4-5K), and *probably* selling the CA, but that's going to be tough. If I got rid of those two I'd be down to three, and have the money to mod the camaro and S12 to where I want, all while keeping insurance and rego reasonable.
