I need advise from the world....
The more I work on my car,recent starting issue, I find more and more rust,fiberglass, and other problems. I have rust in the pans,rear passenger, under the pedal cluster, here and there around the pan. I have fiberglass in the engine shelf and the turn of the long. Dents,bad paint work prep, accident damage front and rear. Motor runs good but leaks oil in a couple places. MSD box and stuff wiring is hack at best...on and on and on. Winter is coming and I will have time to work on the car...but is it worth it to work on this car...or should I find a roller and start fresh. I hate to see another car die to rust. I hate to buy a roller sight unseen that is as bad etc. So those that have been there.... |

Skills??? use of car?? $$$???
My car had some rust, losts of dents and misc holes from ac and such.. I decided my use was fun and track days... Fixed rust and reinforced the chassis.. Turned into a conversion car and painted it hot rod black with riveted on flares... Saved it but not exactly a purist dream.. What do you WANT to do.. drive, concurs, build????? If fixing develope a plan.. Keep it running as long as you can and start accumulating parts.. Deals are to be had and I lost a good 2years taking mine apart before I was ready.. Sat in pieces waiting on the budget.. |
