Jamie's advice
So dead dodge garage is my favorite youtube channel and in one video he's saving a rusty and crusty 74 duster.
He expresses that he feels about these cars the same way some people feel about pets or kids. I agree, I feel for these cars.
He then ends his video by saying, "before giving one of these cars the Sawzall treatment, stand back and ask yourself, is it really that bad"
I have a valiant that matches that sentiment and no it isn't really that bad, in fact it's a bit better than I was expecting (after getting it cleaned up). I knew before purchasing that it has issues and it came at an extremely affordable price.
Parts car turns builder
Thanks Jamie from dead dodge garage for the inspiration.
