Yea, very true. Well, since my popz is pretty "Car Mechanics / Cosmetics - Savy" we're both gonna work on fixing her up.

Let me see if the following reasons will convince you to get that '95...

1) You'll have one of the most sought after style of tailights.
2) Glass high beams (Unlike the '92-'94's that have plastic and yellowish high beams)
3) "Real" foglights w/an OEM switch to boot (No worries over fake and ghetto foglights conversions)
4) Audible keyless entry.
5) Best of all, You'll even have that "semi-useless" cupholder next to your stereo as standard equipment.

This is so true. At least with your 92 you know what you already have to deal with, and there shouldn't be any major surprises.

Yea, those are all good points, but like i previously said...the 95 is now outta my reach lol. Atleast for now, so i have to keep and mod / fix up the SC i have.

It's not that bad, go to a junk yard and just replace that fender. I bet you there's a ton of white sc's that would have that fender intact. Make sure you readjust the bumper in the process, the hit caused the bumper to flex a bit, no biggie. Don't do a swap yet til all the mechanical non engine related stuff is fixed, control arms, suspension, etc.

The issues you have seem minor, so it should be an easy fix to have a good clean OEM sc.

Just remember to maintain the car and it'll take care of you. If you delay on the maintenance then it might all come at one point leaving you with an empty wallet.

Thanks man!

And yea, I plan to keep the car as clean and simple as possible. Shopping for rims now, and will be getting them within a week, 2 at the longest. But my first step is hammering that dent out, which will be done this weekend.
