Default Might have found the NB I was looking for.

So I might have found a NB, for cheap, VERY close to me.

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ515741374

I only have one concern, its Automatic. Does that make any difference if I plan to v8 swap it? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but just wanted to confirm.

Thanks!

Actually an automatic car is usually better. Since they are an auto most enthusiasts would not want them so they are cheaper to buy and usually female driven garage queens that have not been beat on. It takes about 15 minutes to bolt in a clutch pedal and master cyl.

My only concern is the "very little rust" in the ad. Very little is still WAY too much. Once the cancer starts it won't stop and it's a pain to deal with. Consider you are going to put 4 times more stress on the chassis than it was designed for and you really don't want ANY damage or rust at all on it.

So yeah the car is worth a look and the auto is no problem for sure. Just want you to know anyone that has started with rust or other body damage will tell you it's worth the plane ticket to fly to Arizona or wait and pay more for a clean car. Myself included...
