I recently bought a 71 MGB for 2.5K. It runs good and looks good, but to my
chargrin I have found it needs 4K of structural repair (thats what the body
shop man claims). I can see that the sill on the right side is completely
gone. The sill on the left side looks good on the outside, I suppose it could
be bad on the inside. The body man said it also needs a couple quarter panels
too. It also has the cracks of doom on the doors. My question is: Is this
price out of line? Also, is the car worth putting this much money into? I
believe the car would be in near showroom condition if I go ahead with the
work. Should
I dump the car and start looking for another? Is an MGB in good condition worth
6.5K? Please advise.
