Want to either get my car back running, or sell it off. I am on the fence about it now.

Could anyone local swing by and give an honest opinion about wither what it will take to get it back on the road, or what it is worth as is.

Thanks so much

Add a second title line to get Waynes attention.

He might be able to help or recommend somebody local. Hope you can get it running. Also pictures of trouble spots attract attention. Good luck

can try to swing by this week or weekend.

with the pics posted, how confident of a welder are you?

you got a lot ahead of you... it can be done, but it would probably behoove you to take a different approach...

I would use that as a parts car, probably... and get a solid roller... I'll be glad to help in anyway tho.

Welding isn't a problem really, so I don't care about that.

Time is the main concern right now. I either want to get it running in short order, or pass it on at this point.

I hate to part it as from what I have been able to gather it is a complete 73 2.0

Pm sent on details

Thanks
