I recently acquired a '75 1.8 parts car. The hellhole area was allowed to worsen until the trailing arm mount broke making this car a 3 wheeler. I didn't buy it with the intent to fix it up but I can't help thinking about it since the rest of the car is pretty solid. Thought I'd ask before I start taking it apart.
Is it too far gone to attempt to get it back on the road? I understand that anything is possible with enough money and time. Realistically speaking, what would rough cost to repair be if it is possible. Should I run away now... I'll try to upload a few pics this evening. |
