Hi,
I crawled under the car with a flash light inspected the worst areas for
rust and found light rust. I am also looking for a project car. I love
working on cars and then stopping after something is done and look at it
for a while. I really don't want an interior, just a seat, some pedals
and maybe a steering wheel. I just can't stand painting a car! Mechanical
stuff doesn't bother me much, Right now my other car is done and my hands
have become dangerously clean, I can't stand it. I need something that
will keep me occupied for more that 6 months.
