I'm now debating on what to do with this car. Oh ya, having EFI issues, car won't barely run at all. There is some rust, not real bad, little in the driver side floorboard. Little in the door jam, front left fender. I think if I do a motor swap I could definitely get most all cleaned up. The interior could use an overhaul with new everything, so wen I yank the carpet I could take care of the floorboards. Pretty sure its the K-Tube in the front suspension that is pretty rusted along with some other minor stuff. But my question is now, is this body and frame worth getting into. I have about 4K invested in the car now. Will post pics if it will help.

All in all, I have this car and looking to replace everything, motor, interior, suspension. Is it worth it, or should I sell - wouldn't get much out of it now, and then save and buy a solid one>>>?? Any opinions and input is greatly appreciated!

It's tough to put money into one with rust. I just bought a no rust 5.0 California Car with a turbo installed on it. Paid $5,000. Good paint, new AEM computer, Nitto drag radials. new convertible top. You can get a clean modded car for less than $5,000 with no turbo and then start from there.

Sounds like you got a great deal...Was wondering if you have had any problems with your AEM yet?
