i wish that was the case. it looks ok from the exterior, but the rockers are shot, the quarters are not in the best condition and the fenders have chipping from improper rolling and the mounting points at the front of the rocker panels is all ate up.
I could go on and on about how shitty the car is but I just enjoy it. the way it is now, it could use a few small things to make it better. but im not worried. i just scooped a bunch of parts from NAPA last week so, with any luck, it wont leak oil any more after im done.

no it burns, but it also leaks from the front of the motor, so i bought an oil pump, front main, vc gasket and other associated gaskets.
i dont really know where this build will end up, to be entirely honest. I have another project im currently trying to sell and im about to graduate so some things will have to wait.

buy stuff
fix (everything)
buy stuff
turbo + proper control (thinking MS3 maybe pnp but well see what kind of time I have)
maybe big motor swap somewhere down the line.
and then maybe profit. we shall see about that one.
thanks for the welcome Mazduh
