I recently traded a PS4 plus games and $200 cash for a 94GT 5 speed plus extra parts in the trunk(new shocks, clutch and flywheel). Previous owner daily drove it and 6 years ago replaced the cv axle, realized he forgot to replace the seals, tried to pull the new cv axle out and it wouldn't budge. Half of it disconnected and after days of trying he gave up and let it sit for 6 years.
Recently, he went to get it ready to sell and found that a rat had eaten the plug wires. He replaced them and it started right up. The next day it wouldn't start so he popped the hood to find the rat sitting on the valve cover eating the new wires.

I traded for it and have since replaced the plug wires and she starts right up again! The cv axle really was stuck in there good but a cut off wheel and slide hammer got it out.

Oh and I think a car wash added like $200 in value lol

Needs:
New cv axle
Battery
Alternator(I think it's shot)
Windshield
Crash bar
SO MUCH body work
Sunroof work(only tilts and then buzzes a bunch)
Interior deep cleaning
Just about everything lol

But it's about $100 and a trip to the junkyard from being drivable.

If there's no chipping and peeling in the paint would probably be worth claying it, polishing it, and waxing it at some point. I think for what you have in it so far that's really hard to beat for a car that runs and drives, much less something pretty cool with potential.

Oh you said it needs lots of body work, so perhaps not. In that case good chance to experiment with budget painting, Plasti-Dip/Autoflex, or vinyl.

Yeah, the hood had a limb fall on it and the rear driver quarter has a bad bondo job that's cracking. A good bit of hail damage as well. I was just looking for a summer project type car to occupy my time so this will be perfect because there's so much that needs to be done lol. Might even try my hand at the bodywork since I've never done any before. Currently planning on a chalkboard flat black paint job so my kids can draw flames on it lol. Can't take life too seriously!

for that price, you might as well try your hand at painting flames on it. lol

looks like a fun project though. it's always nice to breathe new life into these dragons.

The first picture looks like you dug it up from the bottom of he ocean. OMG. But I guess the price was right! How many miles?

If what you have is a factory sunroof, I think I should have the while assembly out of my liftback when I did the sunroof delete. PM me if interested.
