dont buy it until you get some pics up here....

we need to see the floor boards, the area between the rear bumper and fuel tank, the front frame rail under the battery, and any "body work" it needs

All I am going to say is, bodywork is the most expensive thing to have to deal with on a car. It is better to find a good solid body with a bad motor and trans than it is to find a good motor and trans in rust can. Good luck.

Couldn't agree more. I'd much rather have a clean straight body to start with.
