What would you do?

[Floorist]

Fix it or not?

 

[Floorist]

After a tree fell on it.

 

[havasu]

Hell yeah...why not?

 

[Ernesto]

I like the bungee. Can't find an old trunk hood.? Must be one somewhere

 

[Floorist]

Windshield is shattered, back glass is gone. Top has a bunch of dents but pillars are not bent. Tail light assemblies are broken. Vinyl top is ripped. Has 4 new tires, new battery, new brakes, new coil pack. Still runs and drives good. Got 33 mpg. Just not sure it is worth what it will cost to fix. Parts are hard to find.
Love to drive it.

 

[Jon]

sure made a mess

Is the roof caved in so bad that that you couldn't get a windshield and rear window installed if you could find em?

 

[Dan]

New tires, battery, brakes, good driver, good mileage..... I'd prolly fix it.

They can be installed.

 

[Nick]

Take it to body shop.

 

[Floorist]

Take it to body shop.

Don't they charge?

 

[Nick]

Not if you have bolt cutters .

That's too bad Rusty. Glass is expensive these days. Can't go without it though. That's a tough call. There's parts of this country that would scoop that rig up in a heartbeat. I won't mention any names though.

 

[Floorist]

Well, I got a good offer and sold it today. I hated to do it, but it wasn't practical to fix it. Glass alone would have run $400.

 

[highup]

Hope it found a good home. Are they going to fix it or use it for a parts car?

Parts car.

Sure would be fun to have a big shop and tools to play around with body work. Just having that would begin to make impossible projects possible.

 

[Floorist]

I'm just not financially able to do much. I know how to do the work, but can't afford to hang on to anything long enough. I sold my '70 Chevy pickup project a few months back. I never got it finished.

That's what insurance is for.

 

[Ernesto]

Donate it for a tax write off.
