Get it and wreck it out, surely between the gearbox, engine and bodykit/headlights you could make your money back.

I would get it ....... headliners can be found at wreckers ......... thats if you want to fix her up ;)

If not parting her out will get a few bucks more than the cost .......

What state are you in ??????

Good choice mate!

Personally, given the kays, if it was me, I'd buy it, paddock bash it, grenade the engine, then sell the quad lights and a few other bits and pieces, and send it to the scrapyard!

My deal was a little better.
But min would take a bit more work to get on the road.
But the motor has done only 97... kays, and it runs very well.

Engine and box alone will get him his money back.

Seats I've seen sell for ridiculous prices like $650, complete Front end $700, trims, clock, momo wheel???, sports cluster.

In other words you'll have no trouble making it back.
