#1 this should not have to be stated but there WILL be rust issues under the fibreglass. NONE EVER puts fiberglass over good metal/ Why would you.

#2 having said that Mike we all know you won't find a real " rust free " car for these prioces. I fully expect to have to do some amount of rust repair.

#3 Rusty how did the floor pans look? As stated abpove I fully expect to have to repair the H.H. on any car Mike gets and most probably the rear trunk as well. Solkid floors and longs would be a big plus point for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

#4 carry on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Interior.

Sorry about the one picture... I was channeling Andy. I felt a fierce urge to grab my combat boots and shave a mohawk into my head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Please note... I don't think this is a bad car... but any buyer should be aware of the challenges they may face in the future.

Also, I didn't do any leakdown or compression tests on the motor.

Scott, I didn't think the floor pans looked too bad. I was especially interested in the area around the pedal cluster... but that didn't show any signs of a M/C leak. Clean and dry... and obviously had been that way for some time.

The seller says he has a lift. (Probably in the side garage that stores his 75 Carrera with the 3.2.) Sadly, I was already almost two hours into the inspection... or I would have stayed and asked him to put it up for more pictures.

I am not completely done with this car. I will think over my options based on what is presented to me tomorrow at my friends house. Scott has the final say in what I buy, though, since he is going to be doing the work.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to this one, I just want to point out anything I see so that you don't feel like you make a bad choice after the fact (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Nope, I hear ya man. The good thing is that I have a good rear end of my car that we can use for parts, one good floor, and a good front trunk floor. I also have good trunk hinges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) If I had to I could use this car. My goal now is to not pay more than it is worth. Rusty had a good idea of taking a bus out there and driving it back. That would be cheap and suck less than driving out and towing it.

Holy Cow! I've paid 500 bucks for appraisals that were not that good.

I like that color.

I had Zach check out one in York, PA. He brought a weak magnet, his own jack and jack stands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We ahve a lot of savvy people here.
