I made a post to the group earlier and have arrived at a conclusion
as to what to do with my recent purchase. Seeing as I do not have the
ability nor the funds to accomplish the necessary body repairs I am
going to offer this car for sale. It also helps that I could not
convince my wife that I just needed to buy another one make one good car :-)
Here is the first forsale posting:

with proper prodding, provide more detail.
