I'm almost done deboning the chicken and I'm debating finding someone with race car aspirations, or else recycling this sucker. It got to go though, as I'll be rebuilding my street car soon (?).

So what do you think?

Crush it
Cut it
Find someone who wants it
Turn it into art?

How far does the damage go up front? If it's past the bulkhead it's a ton of work to get straight again. I voted to save it anyhow. I bought a wrecked one myself but the damage wasn't quite as bad as that.

I guess I can describe it better....

The front was hit hard enough to pull the A arms about 2 inches together. It didn't help that is was an AC car with holes. Both fenders are toast. Inside the trunk, the wheel wells are bent. Therefore, it needs to get some bench time at least enough to get the A arm front mount straight. Gas tank area back is fine.

Wheel wells were sprayed at one point. AC holes along the pass side up under the battery. Battery area is what you see. Looks like the metal was treated at one time. Doors are gone. Interior is gone. Engine / Tranny gone. Wiring gone. If it wasn't welded on, its gone.

Jack posts were problems at one point, then patched. Accelerator tube was broken at one point and fixed. The rest of the paint / body I believe was a McMark job, and it was a very nice job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . As it sits now, there's numerous scratches (like keying) on the fenders and rear trunk. The rear trunk took an odd impact too that pushed one corner about 1 cm. Body there is OK. Inside trunk is solid but looks like it was treated. No holes except two 1/2 holes I drilled to hold the half shafts up. Center tube was cut in the rear to take the wiring out easier.

If it is indeed heading for the big recycler in the orient, the Fuchs, 4 adjustable Konis, ? rear springs, newer 21MM sway bar, calipers, ss brake lines, steering column, and trailing arms will be taken off.

On a brighter note, the floors, longs, jambs, windshield, dash are great - hence the hesitation. I have a CA junk title in my name...

The way this poll is going, I'm likely going to have to give the ole' college try to find another owner....

I voted find someone to use it, but if you cut it, I need a section of passenger floor to use as a patch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Very, Very repairable. And your fenders look repairable even with the slice across the end of the right one. This car is still on the fence due to the amount of rust it has. The problem is the added cost of shipping a car that doesn't run. (or roll and steer very good..) But I say someone should fix it.

Rob, if you feel like delivering it, you can drop it off at my shop anytime. I'll gladly throw it in my storage yard for a rainy day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
