Potential Buy 1997 GSX

To start the current owner bought this car as a project and after looking at the photos of the day he picked it up boy was it ever. Still needs some work but it has Zero rust that i can see from all his photos of the underside as well as exterior and engine compartment other then on some bolt heads.
Car was built at ASAPerformance - was given photos of the build at there shop with his car in the background (license plate visible) first person i've talked to in 7months that could produce picts or a reciept for build.
