Hi /o/
So last week I was at a car meet and there was this a old dude that was selling his 1975 Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste for 5000$. The car was rust free and pretty well taken care off.
Now I'm good friends with guy that works at a garage that specifically builds 4g63t engines. He has connections with the guys at Buschur Racing so he knows his DSM stuff. I went to him and asked and he told me has a slightly stock 6 bolt 4g laying around that he overhauled. He told me he'll help me with the build if I plan on going thru with it.
I was planning on buying a new car with this cash I've saved up but this build has got me thinking. Before I post this on a car forum I wanted to get my br/o/'s opinion on this. Should I do it or buy a new car?
what's your new car budget?

45k
I'm pulling the trigger tomorrow because the owner told there was an offers made for the car. So I might have to pay 1 to 2 extra grand for the car. Which I'm okay with.

I'd call his bluff, he might be trying to squeeze a few extra bucks out of you

Celeste's are based. I wish I could find one where I live.
I'd keep it as original as possible, though.
here's a sort of related video.

I guessed that too. But I'm going with the mechanic to go buy it. He's a better negotiator than me.

I saw the car with my own eyes. It's pretty clean.

Looks like a Capri

I'm gonna keep the look as stock as possible. The car is beautiful as it is. I'm might get better looking rims and tires for traction because it's going to be boosted.

Chrysler and Dodge also sold it under a different name.
