I picked this car up today. VIN 4742909998. Its a 74 with a 1.8. Has a lot of good stuff on it for the price. I bought it for the motor but will likely keep it around and do something cool with it. Its still very original including the owner's booklet, new/original keys, and even a ski rack (when the previous owner lived in Colorado). Its been sitting for 25 years!
The odd thing is that it doesn't not have much rust at all... except for the front. The hell hole is small, jack points missing but still solid, only two small holes in the entire floorpan. The entire front passenger corner though is missing from rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)   |

If you decide to part it out, I could use the steel rockers for my LE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
