Should I wait and pay for "THAT"wagon,or buy cheap and swap?

I would prefer a running 2 or 4wd wagon thats manual but they seem to be hard to find and/or pricey. Should I just pick up a cheaper running automatic and swap in the tranny and stuff I want? Or wait it out and maybe pay a little more for the real thing?

Don't listen to this guy, he's just angry about his luck lol
But honestly, it's all up to you. Some people (like myself) find pleasure in the process of resurrecting a vehicle. While others want to jump right to dessert and drive a nice car, all the time, right away.
Time and money are always an issue. Just depends on how your cards lay...
Charb has spoken! LOL
in all honesty, buy the one with NICER INTERIOR (hardest thing to "restore", imo..) and a good clean rust-free body if at all possible.
