Just got this to my house:

1974 1.8

Brought home for $700.

Needs floorpans, and a general go through to see what else is up.

PO had to move this weekend so he was desparate.

The build starts here.

More trunk work today:

Nasty work and it was only 30* today.

Not a fan of the factory seam sealer. I guess it did it's job for the most part though.

Fender seems easy, floor might be a strip or maybe just replace the rear part.

I was thinking the same thing George, rust through at the top of the wheel wells? Maybe the PO liked driving through the salty surf on a beach! :shoot2kill:If the wells had heavy undercoating that might have caught water and caused the rust in that position.

+1 That was the first thing that caught my eye too. I thought the following pics would reveal a complete rust bucket based on the weird rust in the fender, but that wasn't the case luckily. I grew up in road salt country though so nothing surprises me too much.

New England.

I have not pulled off the wheel yet to look underneath the wheel well.

The Longs kinda scare me as there is PO rust repair there and I have no jacking bits. If the door slam is an indicator of straightness I am good though.

Ultimately though I am in to the car complete for $700 and I spent $175 (I think) on 4 Pedrinis.

This forum though...I see some of you guys get balls deep into a tub with no welding skill etc. I think I will be OK.

FWIW-I tore apart my first engine at 8, and I am a marine machinist by trade.

Time and Money. Wish I had more of both.
