Cool, looks like a good deal. Keep the sleeper look. Dog dishes FTW!

There are a couple around here. 1qwikbird in Hamilton has one.

Plan on keeping the sleeper look, keeping the baby moons and white wall tires, adding a 2in cowl hood, bucket seat interipr w/console, and cyberdine gauges in the console. Also plan on adding an LS2 and six speed from an 04 GTO (but thats going to have to wait a while until I get the money for it )

looks like an awesome starting point, cant argue with the price either.

for inspiration, I would look at Kurt Urban's nova

wont be much of a sleeper if you add the cowl hood. Now the guy who has that twin turbo Nova is a true sleeper. No cowl hood, no paint, and a bench seat lol. Read the article about it not to long ago awesome Nova. You got a great car as a starting point, and you cant beat the price.

Suprisingly it has no rot holes in the cowl section, and the braces in the inside of the fenders are not rotted, worked on it more today and almost got the front subframe out.
