i came across this car for sale. it used to be owned by an elderly lady and has a little under 13000 miles on it. when i got it it had been sitting for 18 years and had a broken torsion bar.

I didn't get a trunk key with the car so I had to fish my way in

the car had been sitting for a long time and the spare tire well was rusted out so I decided to cut it out get rid of the gas tank and run a 12 gal fuel cell.

there is a few small things left to do, the wipers don't work, and neither does the heat. plus replace a few bulbs, but I'm still stoked it is movable.
 
Nice find! should be a good driver once you fix all the little things. Doesn't look like you have any major rust to deal with.
