As a first car, I would say go for it. Especially if your dad has parts available at the Salvage. IF there is a mechanic that works there, have him check out the frame. There is a possiblity that the reason it is being released to a Salvage, is possible frame damage. If there is no frame damage, take it. It may not look the best, but if it gets you where you want to go, it is well worth it.


On another note, I couldn't remember who it was that had family in the Salvage business. Could you have your dad check to see if he has a working Left side Headlight motor for a 1990 Ford Probe? Thanks.
