QFT.

There is a sweet spot on these cars that will provide a reasonable amount of enjoyment to maintenance level.

However everyone always seems to cross that point and will spend the next few years flushing thousands of dollars down the toilet, en-route to an eventual rage-quit.

Personally, at this juncture, I would suggest other cars to accomplish your intended goals. The degradation of all the parts for a car of this vintage is immense. Couple that with the fact nearly 100% of them have had very hard lives with sub-par maintenance.

True, aftermarket parts (even good ones) are quite plentiful and inexpensive, but you will eventually will replace every part on that car if you intend to own it long term. On the plus side, they are incredibly easy to work on.

PS. 1991's are phenomenally better than 1992's because they have pop-up headlights that instantly make you a baller. You do want to be a baller, don't you?
