Problem is, if I had the money to invest in a rebuild, or a JDM, I'd just do it and keep it. Not in that position right now, so I figure it's better off going to a better home that can care for it and enjoy it. I had big plans for it, but I think any kind of car buildup like that it 10+ years down the road for me now.

Still for sale, $1,600/OBO. It will need a rebuild sooner than later, but does still run/drive.
All depends on the offers I get, which so far is none, so it's still at $2,000. I may end up just posting it on ebay in a week or so.
So I guess I was off on the miles a little bit, only show 191,165. Also forgot to mention that this has the power sliding sunroof as well. Here's some more pictures.
Yeah, I got a decent price for it when I got it, and it's taking up space in my driveway, plus I found out I've got another little one on the way, so gotta have priorities. 
Personally I'd like to get a Talon again, I miss my Tsi AWD. But that will have to wait a couple of years.
Thanks for the bumps guys.
krzydrftr93 had asked where I got the gauges from, but i wasn't able to send a reply PM to them, so if I remember right, I just got them from a vendor on ebay.
I see there are several listed yet Here..
I'll try to snap some engine bay pics, but I might not get to until this weekend. Can't wait for the summer sun to be out when I get off of work at night.
Ok, I had such high hopes for this thing, but I just don't have the time to invest in it now.
It's got around 196,xxx miles on it, and is a manual shift car. Clutch has always been great to me and haven't had any problems with starting. There is some rust in the usual spot on the rear quarters, and the engine will need a rebuild shortly as it's starting to tick, but I drove it daily up until this winter.
Clean title.
Whiteface indiglo gauges and custom exhaust are all that have been done to it so far.
I'd like to get $2,000 OBO. Kelly Blue Book still lists it around $2,500.

Yeah, the Metro belongs to a guy named Tyler that is working part time over at Aurora now. It's totally as a joke. He's even got an orange safety cone on the roof right now.
The little roadster? That's my brother's. Don't think he's going to make it this week either. Too many things to get done before our rod run up in Hillsboro this weekend. But I'm sure most of use will be back again next week.
Well, we're still kinda getting the run around from Ricks. We were supposed to be able to park on the other side of the building between FCC and Ricks, and they were supposed to have worked something out for a food deal, seating, something.
We'll see what happens. Nobody is really "sponsoring" anything other than offering us the space at this point. We're not getting anything out of it other than having a place to gather every week. I'd like to see some kind of discount on food or something at Ricks so people can grab a bite to eat while they're getting to know one another.
Hey CCr,
I must appologize if none of you came up to us. We're still trying to get our poop in a group and had one of the sponsors flake out on us. Most of us were having a meeting to figure out what we were going to do about that. I personally saw a couple of pictures that someone had posted on another board, and I didn't see half the cars there because I was inside.
Anyway, another bad thing is that a lot of the people that showed up headed over to Ricks to eat right when they got there, so we didn't even see them half the time either.
I'm sure things will settle down more as the season goes on and I hope that in the future you feel more welcome.
We actually had two new people show up this week from Twin Valley, MN, and it turns out that he knew my great uncle, so it's interesting what you find out when you have the time to sit and talk to people.
All of the "rat roddy" cars were members cars. We're a traditional hot rod and custom club, so you'll more than likely see those at the cruise nights. But anything and everything is welcome.
I know these sound like a lot of excuses, but we really don't want anyone to feel un-welcome. It'll take time to settle down, and time to grow, but I think it will end up being a good thing for our community and hobby in the area.
Just a heads up to everyone, Ricks is supposed to be working with us a little more in the future to have some tables outside for people to sit and eat, drink, etc., so we're hoping that will be a good chance for people to sit down and relax and do some bench rodding with one another.

No, only a couple showed up last week, and it's pretty chilly this week, so I wouldn't count on too many tonight either. Hopefully it'll start to warm up soon and we'll see a few more people out and about.
Thanks to everyone that showed up the first week. Weather was beautiful for it, doesn't look like we'll be as lucky this week, but ya never know.
There are parts suppliers out there. Can't think of it off hand, but like others said, it'll depend on what you're looking for.
Well, looks like almost everything is in order, so I thought I'd let everyone here know.
Every Wednesday night starting May 4th. We'll meet up at Aurora Rod and Custom (118 9th St. N Moorhead) at 5:00 and cruise over to Odden's Rod Shop (2745 Main Ave. Fargo) around 6:45 until 9:00.
All cars/bikes are welcome so stop on out and see what's up!

I also had some CD's stolen out of my lude a couple of weeks back. Smashed out my drivers window, and it was RIGHT NEXT TO OUR FRONT DOOR!
Funny thing is he left all my ham radio equipment and CD deck in the car, and just grabbed my visor of CD's....most of which were burned copies of my originals.
Looked like he might have driven up to our house on a bicycle as there was still snow on the ground and bike tracks in the snow.
Remember to check out http://www.dsmtrader.com if you're looking for parts too. I picked up a 4bolt rear for $150 a couple years back.
I know it's already over, but yeah, they didn't used to allow tuners into the show at all. 4 years ago I started on the entry committee and did it up until last year when I backed out of the club for a while.
They need to change their ways, and my buddies that are still in the club tried to do a decent job of getting more in there this year. There was a few nice ones in there this year, mostly in the Odden's line up. I kept telling them that if they want to grow both their attendance and their show vehicles, they've gotta open their eyes. Most of them see the light now, but there are a couple of guys in the club that I'll never see eye to eye with, both on tuners, and traditional styled like my '26.
Hoping to have my 'lude in the show next year, but we'll see what happens between now and next year.

Dubbsy.. I know, my club gives me crap for my Honda, but I don't discriminate. If it's got wheels and motor, it's kewl with me. I was wondering what happened to ya. Ya know we're not in Toppers anymore, right? The board is dead as hell now. We started our own club last year, so things are better now.
