Default Help!!

Hey I am looking at restoring a vintage fastback and it seems like everything that I can find needs floor plans to be replaced...and sheet metal in the trunk. Is it worth buying a car that needs this to be done and if so how much will it cost to get it replaced?

This is the car in question.....Is this fastback worth restoring? The guy is going to the dealer is going to include a 66 coupe....What do you think about this everyone?

This is what he sent me describing the car.....

The 68 comes as a rolling chasis. It has no engine, no door glass, and will need sheet metal from the trunk floor to the and including the firewall. It has the back glass, in great condition, both doors, seats, and other various parts. Title in hand.

I would buy it but only if its 5 grand or less because of the rust in it.The odds are if the floor pan is rusted out the cowl vent probably is too.
