Is it worth it?

[Beck5953]

The guy is asking 500 for the car. I offered him 300. I am supposed to go look at it this weekend. Supposedly it only has 86,000 miles on it. Carbed and automatic. Think its fixable?

Thankshttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/9d781c3bd64e60e67ffc0c0ae5b53d7d.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/0852012045d9083c1b3a7ab5978beddf.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/dac77fedeb297d550b5f1c8afdd0f0d7.jpg

If you are planning on using it as your car, I would not recommend it to you, even if you only pay 300 bucks you will have to pay a lot more to make it drivable (pay more than 300 bucks but for a good base). But if you are planning on using it for other thing I can't tell you.
Well that's only my point of view ;)

Im going to attempt to save it. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/73a8a52209c0067d92c6f706c3995071.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/f122c51b736b97b857e74c519ff3f445.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/a84ecb5dc153a1a7976d80d6bd1bea5a.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/f7fffd60e0c1597c796876bd61d9a904.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/fb7ed363282b76e41566c893a29b996b.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/5aae8470c1f6131e7ba962225f8381cb.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/c997acac12232261203e7b2d80b2b592.jpg

I say go for it. If you've got the know-how and the money, it's worth it. That motor isn't even broken in! Be patient, determined, and positive. The resources on this site have already helped me tremendously and I'm brand new here. Make it happen.

Challenge accepted! I would love to have this car as a daily. My goal is to have it drive-able before i graduate. Lets make that happen!

Got some work done on it tonight. Its worse than i hoped, but i haven't given up yet. Worst case scenario i re-shell it. But i would really rather not have to go that route. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/be672f0c16ce905ddb6859ce48215084.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/1495d6f6a163c2b7732d6af013a446da.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/ddd18a288891f50d3d2e4c13ac0d691f.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/9d2df177620e12245859f602e03b075c.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/0b8890a1c1bd622209d6566a6aceb80b.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/04/2439a7aaa48f8efbeb8c4b7946965214.jpg

Yeah... You've got that handled. I've seen much worse. Going to be a great daily. This is me being a nerd ...when will you try to fire it up? Intrigued.

I have ran it a few times already, fires right up if i put a battery in it. Runs like a dream, we drove it on the trailer to load it lol

LOL. That's going to be a handful. Have fun with your new project.

How badly bent is the frame?

Lol yeah I'm very lucky to have that big of a work space. Got some work done on the car today. Cut allot of the bad corner out, just enough to free the harness and fix the spot where it was cut. Got a fuse box and a battery in it, and drove it around the block!! Runs soooo smooth! I cant wait to get to drive it on a regular basis. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/13/93b78b5cddb39e75424a63680a839258.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/13/c06d0f16e5a3dae9ea0d0ae34f62fc1e.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/13/89edd591d19ea84b8e3607e9b1191d73.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/13/ba5711ab93adf21f456be2cf78734a3c.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/13/5878b00a1443e4af73d3bea636dc3620.jpg

Man, that is really impressive. And such a nice car. Props again for taking that on. Looks like you're doing a thorough and accurate repair. Makes my power steering pump rebuild this weekend look like a walk in the park. You'll get many great years out of that car now. Only thing I have on you at this point is that it's 74 and sunny where I live! [emoji122]

There must not be any rust on that car. Even the exhaust heat shield is shiny and still looks new. Unreal man. Valve cover is a nice touch too.

Drove the car to school and work. I am definitely keeping this car, I tried to sell it but I couldn't do it haha it just feels wrong. Got it cleaned up at work, got all the duct tape off the car and finished lining up the headlights with the hood. I would say it turned out pretty good.
