It''s not my car yet, but I''m considering buying it. My girlfriend''s father did all of the work. Opinions?

nice touch with the ''00 wheels on the 1st gen. Did he paint them white or just strip them down and polish them?

Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are painted white.

What would you guys say would be a fair price?

The bad:
The valve seals leak, so it smokes on startup (not a big deal really).
Vacuum leak in the dash.

That''s really about it. We''re just trying to figure out a good price to settle on.

Im no good at pricing the custom work, but I most of the time people understand that time put into the exterior is not always 100% returned on resale like engine work would be..

Also, the transfer case leaks fluid. Just a few drops every night.

How many miles? Also do you know if he did any frame work, or is there still 1st gen rust/wear under all that body work

The body/frame has 295k miles on it, but the motor only has around 60k on it. Frame looks new.
