auxilary Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 as long as you're planning on stripping it down, wasting hundreds of hours on rust repair, frame rail replacement, cutting, grinding, welding and bodywork... and THEN doing the interior, then yeah, it's a good deal. Otherwise I'd find a shell in more decent condition if I were you. Sometimes it's worth to pay more. It looks like you'd be buying rust with a car on the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eon Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 well i was planning on redoing the interior the only thing i dont want to spend an arm and a leg on just repairing the rust so is it really expensive to just repair rust and is there some places that are harder/more expensive to fix on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedWild Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 It "could" be a decent parts car. I see the bumpers look somewhat decent. You probobly could pull a couple hundered $$$ off it in parts. But I would not use it as a project car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Is it possible you can go take a look at it? You can see what is still good for parts or resale and purchase it for that sole reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eon Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 well not really its a couple states away so if i make the drive its gonna be to pick it up but i asked the seller to send me a couple more pics of the rusted areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'd not go a couple states away to tow that one home. Just the amount of rust in the spare tirewell area would make me run. Looking at the fender where they bolt to the uni-body is an indicator of what you'll find on the underside of the car. I'd bet the floor pans and rails, battery box, and rear hatch/ tail light area are suffering as well... "Run Forrest Run" away from this one!

EZ-E Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Yeah I definetly agree, do a search for Mull on here and hes repair of the "rust free" Z he had bought. With that car you would be looking at the same amount of work Im sure. Now if you were close it would be worth it to make some money on some parts, but as a resto project, unless you have loads of time and a bit of cash, this isnt for you.
