look what followed me home
I am one of those who says save the car if you can. I have seen waaay to many nice cars parted simply because the person could make more in parts than selling as a whole.
I have done just the opposite. I have sold a whole car way cheaper than I could have parted it because somebody wanted it for a project to put back on the road.
However, after reading your post about all the rust issues I have to say it sounds like this one is going to be a parts car.
Let us know what you decide to do.
