well i see a few plus sides if i can make it work. 5 lug pattern, more suspension upgrades (tems, ect) easier to find parts to replace without driving 50+ miles north or south. its a preferance thing for me, and i am green with mechanics and self taught, it will expand my knowledge and give me some experience. my dad is a great mechanic, but also a long haul truck driver, away for many months at a time, (almost years in some cases) and being very visual its hard for me to get help from him just talking over the phone and even picture messaging doesnt do it justice. its all very natural and easy in my mind and it runs in the family, so any reason or oppertunity to make something my own, or learn about these ideas that make our cars work and give them personallity is very exiting for me.
blah enough rant more work
