I need advise from the world....
The more I work on my car,recent starting issue, I find more and more rust,fiberglass, and other problems. I have rust in the pans,rear passenger, under the pedal cluster, here and there around the pan. I have fiberglass in the engine shelf and the turn of the long. Dents,bad paint work prep, accident damage front and rear. Motor runs good but leaks oil in a couple places. MSD box and stuff wiring is hack at best...on and on and on. Winter is coming and I will have time to work on the car...but is it worth it to work on this car...or should I find a roller and start fresh. I hate to see another car die to rust. I hate to buy a roller sight unseen that is as bad etc. So those that have been there.... |
