I think it's just that your asking price is a little confusing. I'm not a buyer, but I think others might be confused as to whether your "12345" price is your initial "ask", as in roughly $12.5K? Or.....are you merely using those numbers as a place holder like when someone puts 999,999 in the odometer reading slot when the mileage is unknown, and then waiting for offers?

Let's call it the placeholder as you put it. I'm not asking 12k and change. I assumed people would understand that with the conservative number sequence. I was merely trying to meet a price requirement without really specifying a price in hopes of "offers" helping me value the car.

5k tops. It needs a lot of work.

I'm glad you threw that number out... Now that you broke the ice, I was thinking $6k, was about where I wanted to be. I now don't feel like I was ridiculously high or low.

I was pleasantly surprised to see things in this condition. Things didnt look too bad upon my inital inspection with the cover in place, but look way better than I imagined upon removal

It is a neat car in not too bad condition as these go.

Someone who is willing to spend the time and $$$ on the resto will want it eventually.

I am not allowed to purchase anymore cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) If you want an idea how much work it is to fix that damage your looking at about 10k to square it up, repair the wheelhouse, find and purchase a early front panel and section it in. No other repairs or paint work. Add in a Repop fender that is supposed to be available now for something like 2k.

I have to disagree with both comments on repair value and worth. This may be in your experience, but when a parts/donor car can be had, costs are significantly reduced. Costs would only be that high if your "hire" someone to do it. Most of us here who would restore this, will probably do 70-100% of the work ourselves and reduce those costs substancially.

And done correctly, this is every bit of a $40-60k car depending on market, location, love for signal yellow and maybe a little alcohol involvement.

Sure, look at pic #22, second pic of the hell hole, just to the right of the forward fuel line you'll see a horz line of the fiberglass sheet. Bet if you took a magnet to it, no sticky. Not trying to dog your add, just something I noticed. My 02C, you have a nice parts car. 10-15 k on the front end fix to do it correct, another 5-10k to fix the rust you can't see (it's there, comes from the factory that way) To me the front end damage makes it BER.

It does appear to have some fiberglass in the hell hole area. You can see the cross-hatching of the fiberglass mat.

Still a great car to restore though. If I was any closer I would be very tempted.

That does appear to be glasses in... I just vacuumed all the pine needles and acorns out and took pics. Initial appearance presented itself well and I didn't thought it looked solid and original. After taking a look this morning, I was able to confirm that has in fact been repaired with fiberglass.

Due to this discovery, I will adjust the cars price.

And that's doing all the work (including paint) yourself.
