So me and my car have had some rough times and i'm running on a tight budget. Was curious what you guys thought as far as what i should fix first. right now im sittin on about $550 or so. Here's what i need: (sorry for cell phone pics but all i have at the moment. )

Steering with possibly new airbags

Dash or something to cover this giant hole in it

bad exhaust leak on both sides of my cat due to bend in my downpipe and cat

rear bumper, pic really makes it look better then it does in person but its cracked along where it meets the rear fender

my hood with the big a** dent and gash in the paint due to trailer hitch

one of the major issues i've run into is the lack of the parts i need around where i live. ive been tryin to find another pearl white hood for months now with no luck. and a dash is difficult as well as many people are looking for one.

I would cheap out and buy an off-color hood for now and have it matched up later.

you can easily pull off those repairs with the money you have to spend and have plenty left over for other little things. i also agree with finding a good hood, forget color matching for now.

It would be a good time to treat you and your car to a nice Nardi or Momo steering wheel.

As for body parts, check out the "complete part outs" subforum in the Classifieds. Plenty of s14s being parted out.
