1962 Valiant Signet 200
I know you like to just get them functional and looking as good as possible without significant expense, but have you considered repairing the body rust?
Absolutely. We will be repairing it in the future. I found lower fender patch panels but only available overseas, where these cars are extremely popular. There are still salvage yards in the US with parts cars, just need to save up for some rust free metal.
I completely repaired our 62 Dart, floors, frame rails, cowl, firewall, trunk, UCA mounts, the list goes on.
Never picked up a welder until I tried to tackle the Dodge, and it turned out very nice, it's a learning process.
Not sure on the values, I imagine a Signet 200 two door hardtop will bring more $, but wagons bring good $ as well.
The more original, and less rust, probably are the most $.
