Well after tearing out the interior this evening and finding more and more rust as it alway is, i'm kind of a cross roads now do i just repair the rust i can see or do i go for the whole thing.
If i went the route of full body and paint and engine rebuild does anyone have a rough estimate on cost for that? I would be doing most of the body work since my good buddies dad owns a body shop and i'd be doing the work there. I would love to rebuild the motor myself or is it a really a difficult job that i should source out? Thanks in advanced for all the help and info i love this site and having been combing through as many threads as my eyes can take each day. here's a few terrible pics of of the rust.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) If i do end up doing it i will probably buy a new tub. I'm really considering either parting it out and or selling it as is. I really don't have the cash for all this rust. Would it be worth even $1500 bucks as it is a complete car and the seats are in perfect condition? I have a datsun that needs minor resto as well. I'm getting the fuel pump in next week and i'm almost positive it will start because it starts with a little gas in the carbs. |
