i didnt mention yet about the paint.. it looks like it washed with a brush in an aggressive manner for the 1000 miles/yr it was driven..
but i found a great sticky on here about detailing.. and i do have a buddy that can paint the hell out of a car.. i think im gonna try to get the clear coat back to mint using the thread mentioned, and with my dads help, it will happen.. hes a freak with paint and vehicles..

Well I front wheel drive is always a plus and for me a manual transmission helps out so it shouldn't be too bad as long as your tires are in Ok condition.
