Not too bad. looks like the hard work is done.
Am I confused or is that a bargain?
And I am out of money and out of space!
And I am out of money and out of space!
I see classifieds like this and I wonder why the heck I'm spending all the money and time, and doing all the hard work, to rust-repair my project when I could just buy something like this and be driving a six in short period of time. And then I say to myself: "Yes, but you wouldn't have the satisfaction of having built it yourself." And then I say to myself in reply: "You're an idiot. You'd buy this in a heart beat if you had the space for it."
There's work to be done, but that looks like a deal to me.

Story of my life. It does validate what my friend used to say - "The deal of a lifetime comes along one a month".
If the work is good, mega bargain.
At an earlier point in my life, I'd be on the way to get this car.

...congratulation to your architect. I think I'd switch the kitchen w/bathroom but otherwise it's perfect.... 
Looks like the first 90% of the work is already done!
Someone should pick it up, and do the next 90% of the work.
Then sell it to me, so I can do the final 90% of the work. Then all it will need is sorting.
(Still, looks like a heck of a deal!)

I wonder what the suspension looks like and if the motor is complete.
This seems to be a pretty smoking deal. If I buy it, the black car will NEVER Get done.
It's close to me if anybody needs a PPI.

Wonder why they painted the under-side of the firewall...I can't see a /6 mount in the pictures 
Maybe they were going to use a quick-six mount?
