tca217 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 If the car is in as much disrepair as you state, you are just chasing a money pit. Keep your motor and whatever else is good, part out the rest and buy a different car or wagon to put your stuff in.There have been more than a few nice cars here for sale cheap that are in fine shape but just need a motor. There was one black wagon that was here (can't remember who it was) but it looked sharp and for only $900.00, how could you go wrong? By the time you buy new suspension, brakes, wiring, ect., ect., not to mention time spent on labor, it would be a no brainer, dump the problem and start from new with a strong platform.
