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.

John I have rebuilt the brakes already not sure i would want a full suspension done on it. Are you saying 5-10K for a professional motor rebuild? |
