Not to bad a find for 200 bucks.

Edit: also, take the springs out and cut them, get that thing a little lower and it'll handle even better for autox.
Actually I'm going classy ghetto paint. Getting Rustoleum in a (not spray) can, dilute it 50/50, and shooting it with an air gun. Will cost less than the amount of rattle cans, about 20-30 in paint, and I have access to paint guns.

It's torsion bars up front, springs in rear. I may not mess with suspension, since it still has to travel rough country roads and ****ty trailer park "roads" on delivery. Really, wider tires would be all I'll do on that front, and maybe a rear sway bar.
