Hi everyone. I usually lurk around forums without documenting much but i've had so much fun with this project so far i figured i'd share my experiences. Will be using mostly as a weekend toy on the street if i can get it licensed. Already have insurance determined through my current provider, SF. I actually came across this project when i came across a video online of an Ariel Atom. Thought it was awesome until i saw the price. I then started hitting the google and found the goblin...... let the story begin.
Searched for about 2 weeks and then found a 2008 LT with 72K miles on it for $600. The car was actually sold as an 07 LT which is the main reason i bought it, i likely would not have bought it had i known it was an 08.
Car had a previous salvage title. Seller said it "runs great when it starts, sometimes it doesnt start, sometimes it runs rough when it starts". Interesting. Windows didnt work, stereo didnt work, seat belt was broken. I asked if he trusts it... he said yeah i've been driving it for a year. I asked what percent likelihood i could make it home 75 miles away.. he said he'd give it 5% likely. Long story short it ran like a champ even through a rain storm with the windows down
