Re: questions and or offers
Unless you LOVE working on old cars, and have lots of money, forget it.
almost always it is better to buy the best car you can afford, a good running, decent, presentable car. Such a car will be less expensive in the long run, and more enjoyable. Rolling wrecks, even cheap or free ones often cost more to fix and restore than they are worth.

Magic rat is right. I just got through shopping for a fat fender. The difference between the typical $5k rusty hulks I was finding, and, the $7K car I bought was quite significant. The car only needs some minor restoration, and, has won 2 trophies at car shows in the shape she's in now.
