Hi guys,
        I have decided to get the car for around 50-100 and bring it to the shop
and with help get it running and make it stop. Then drive it home and
start fixing all of the little big stuff and paint it. I going to try to
talk to the owner next week and see what he says, if it's over 150 I'm
walking! Thanks for everyones help!
