Major issue is body. Needs paint and rust repair. Interior could use new carpet and seat recovered.
I know body work is expensive. That's why I figured that may be some body has a buddy that could give them a deal on some. I could probally could cut some pieces out here and there and reweld, but I tired of working on the ole girl. Here are more pics
NO INTEREST? Am I asking to much? I though for sure some of the locals would be interested. I figured with all the extras this was a fair price. Hell I think this car parted out would be worth $6500 parted. Oh well. I guess I'll start grinding away at her and add some primer.
Most guys in here prob couldn't fix the rust problems this car has . That would probably bring it to a body shop .. IF you can get a body shop to do it!! Most shops I know of wouldn't get involved because they can do an insurance job an make easier $$$. good luck with the sale
Thanks, Point well taken. I was kinda hoping a body guy with the love for these cars would scoop it up. I guess maybe better after tax time.
I don't think the price is bad at all, I think guys are just scared of the rust, I don't see it as a difficult repair job, the rear area could be found at most junk yard, off of an old monte, or oldsmobile or of course a buick, have the junkyard plasma cut the rear area you need, have the area welded on and the rest is pretty easy, It looks alot worse than what it is, I feel for $6500 or so, you put in $3-to $4k and that can be a great looking car and you get a car with some nice mods already added so you kind of save a little there.
if this car was in perfect shape it would be in the $12k area, it's definetly a nice investment and in the end, our cars are worth it. I would'nt mind helping someone fix-it up, ( if someone down here bought it.)
here's a couple of pics of mine, which had rust spots as well but with some hard work she's definetly worth it, as will the T. lets not be afraid some hard work guys, it makes you feel even more prouder when you win that trophy
well good luck with the sale, it is a nice T, with alot of potential.

" I have a flux core welder too."
so for $4k that can look like yours with all the rust fixed and a beautiful paint job like yours ??
Damm whats just a nice paint job cost down there ?? $2k ??just about, the guy i know did the body and some welding for $2500, yes i know the guy, but i don't see it being too much more, if you have the piece cut out already, thats great, i'm not sure where you live at but if your in the south florida area, i am willing to help you sand-down the car and take care of some of the minor rust spots, i'm sure i have a bud who'd help also, as far as the welding goes, my guy down here can do wonders on a car, well if ya need the extra help, just let me know, i'm sure after we get her clean and painted you might not want to let her go.
guess it depends where you are located .. Wouldn't be worth it up here BUT I guess it maybe is down there.. Rust is tuff to "cure"
