Ohh how i envy you having a partner who also has a passion for cars! I mention the word engine at home and I'm in the shits! haha..
However, back to the thread, me and a mate (mates a mechanic, I'm a panel beater) are currently in the process of restoring one of these bad boys and dropping a SR20DET in! It's a awesome car to A) Do body work on and B) Do engine work on. It's old school so its so simple and basic! So i deff recommend it..it's been awesome fun so far and i've learnt a bit about Panel Beating (being doing it for 4 yrs now) from this one little car and a load about the mechanics side of things as well!
Best of luck bud and if you have any questions just drop me a PM chief!! Let us know how you end up going!
