First time posting here, hopefully I'm in the right section. I have a 1974 2.0 liter sitting around. Do you guys think this car is completely restorable or am I better off making it into a parts car? Any info on what panel I need to buy, to repair the rusted areas, would be extremely helpful! Thanks in advance for any comments.
The first two pictures are of the passenger side suspension mounting point. The next three are of the drivers side door area. The picture after that is of the passenger side rot. Last picture is of the battery tray area---seems to be in ok condition. Attached image(s) |

Usually when the rust hits the driver door jam the car is done. This spot usually rusts last. That means the car is full of rust and the repair for all the metal work needed far exceeds the cars value.
