yeah, all tracs from WI are usually in pretty bad condition. what made you buy yours?
show me some pics biggrin.gif

but yeah, i was sold on this one because of the body. that's really what got me since living in WI
it's hard to find a car with as little rust as this. smile.gif
mechanical issues won't cost as much as bodywork, i'm believe.

It was one of those "I've got the money and I've wanted one since I was 16" type of things.... Unfortunately, I didn't do my research on the trouble spots until after I blew the motor on the way home from picking up the car....







That's how she looked when I bought her.... And I never did get pics of the rusty floorboards....
I've since been in an accident which made me replace basically the entire front end. Here's a quick pic of how she looks now (the passenger fender is now red again XD)
