well heres my ebay purchase---for having spent 40 years in new york she is actual quite good. all is stock and un-fiddled with, etc. but heres what I found rust wise in the longs its actually very focused around the jack points and doesnt extend. suspension console also looks solid.
should I buy long panels? kit? Id like to do a good job yet not strip the car to its bone, it is a solid driver... Attached thumbnail(s) |

How is that not a very rusted car? The passenger long, hell hole, engine shelf and rear trunk all need major work. The suspension console usually rusts out from the inside and until you strip the floor tar, you won't see the rust in the floor channels. Pull the bumpers and interior to really see what you got. Also check the reinforcement plate in back of the master cylinder. It's a common place for rust to hide.
Bill is right, $10K + in repair. BTDT but best of luck to save this teener. |
