I managed to pick up a parts car for a couple hundred $$. A quick check shows it has a good 2.0 engine with a bad fuel pump. I love the flames, too bad they are weathered. She swapped out a window regulator tinted windows and door panels today and has it ready for the new pan and oil pickup tube, which arrive tomorrow. I'm going to clean up and store the parts car engine, just in case.
Daughters car is called "Stink Bug" we'll call this one "Fire Bug".
