You are a liar. You are talking about unicorns again. Take your pills and these hallucinations will cease...

But now it's time for the truth.
Yes I bought the car
Yes it was $265 with keys and title
Yes it rolls
Yes it has an intact HH
Yes it has factory fron and rear sway bars
But that is about the end of the good
The longs are toast (both sides)
She sags in the middle
the floor is gone (drivers seat sitting 5 inches lower than passanger seat)
She droped parts all the way to Pittsburgh from Rochester NY
The drivers fron fender is rusted almost off
The back of the trunk is still attached to the rear bumper, but that whole assembly is no longer attached to the car.
In short even I can't save this one. And rust really doesn't scare me.
It was taken off the road 13 years ago and the battery removed (hence the good HH)
Then it was parked in a field and the weeds grew up around it and rotted it out from the bottom up.
I'm cutting her up this weekend at the BBQ and sending the hulk off to become a new car after being recycled
So please let me know if you need anything at all.
I'm cuttin out the parts that I need as well as those that other people request or that I can sell and then sending here off.
I'll save the viun tag to remember her by.
Now for a pic that shows just some of the carnage.
Rest of the pictures will appear in my big post about my 1st car as I get time.
Hope to see everyine at the BBQ, bring a

I was in a hurry to get to work and made a bit of a math error. The car last saw the road in 83 so it sat for 23 years not 13.
I'll bring a tool box.....to steal parts that I probably dont need
fitsbain....PM me the address of that place. I think I know where that is but i want to make sure...
I'm brining my sawzall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, if Barry is going then you don't need me there

You guys have yet to see the state of my teeners in person.
I need all the help I can get.

Ah, right. I forgot I have a BA in phsychology, so when did it all begin? Are you seeking validation?

Well I think it all started back when I was a wee small child. My dad used to let me help him out in the garage. We rebuilt a motor or 2 and patched a lot of rust. I think that is what got me. All the rust we patched doc. There was so much of it and as soon as it was all cleaned up it started to come back.
Ever since then I think I've been obsessed.
I thought I had it under control. I hadn't touch a rusty car in years. But then this poor little 914 followed me home one day. I know I shouldn't have, but I took her in. I started to work her over and then I found the rust.
That was it. I didn't really mean to but I got totally involved. Then I went out and found another one just to keep the first company. I thought maybe she was lonley locked away in the garage.
But things didn't go well after that. The second one isn't going to make it. Now I am going to have to dispose of the body. I scared that this isn't going to stop.
What can I do doc???
