Yea Son, that looks like a step in the right direction. I would of course like to see the pics of the lower qtrs and the C-pillar areas mentioned, and pics of the interior and engine bay as well as pics of the underside, especially the rear frame rails where they terminate into the shackle mounts and bumper mounting area. It looks like a decent car, and with a little more info and pics, you should be able to make an informed decision. Is this car near you??? It would be nice to be able to test drive it, but as mentioned in an earlier post, a car in the $2500.00 range that runs and drives would make a good starting point, and driving as you fix it up to be what you want will keep you in the game!!! The repaint being of lower quality may lead to some questionable bodywork, and the lack of attention to the qtrs and C-pillar will of course tip your hand to having it repaired and repainted, but that may give you some leverage on a price reduction. I would definetly look into it further, especially if it's near enough to check out in person!! Good luck and let us know how you make out!! Geof
