Um, the rockers are structural. And based on the pictures you've already posted, they aren't in great shape. Given all that white paint, they could be really bad, and at least in my mind that's something that would keep it from being safe. Won't stop it from driving down the road, but that old girl is flexy flyer.
I wouldn't pay 1k for it. I've seen much nicer cars parted out. You'd be far better off waiting to find something else, $2k will buy you a MUCH better car than that. I paid $2k for my Duster, and less than that for both of my Darts.
