Joe,
You're crazy if you cannibalize a car like this. Why not buy the parts you
want out of a bone yard and let this one stay on the road? brent

>Here's what I found:
>The body has no visible rust.

>There was one tiny spot on the driver floorboard that is possible

>
>The front bumper is straight and without rust.
>
>The left plastic under rider is cracked but the right one is smooth and
>shiny with no visible flaws.
>
>The rear lights and trim is intact and without any signs of rust.
>
>The bonnet has stress fractures around both latches but otherwise is
>straight.
>
>The driver door has 2 gouges where somebody scraped it. The other door
>is intact.
>
>the Rear hatch is intact and all the glass is without any cracks.
>
>There is one outside rearview mirror, a bullet type aftermarket one.
>
>The dash looks very good and there is only one minor place where the
>wood veneer is slightly cracker. It has the bronze GT6 medalion (which
>I believe is highly sought after).
>
>The engine is very clean looking and the owner said that the head had
>been reworked to accept unleaded fuel.
>
>The transmission in outside the car. The owner said that the clutch
>fork pivot pin broke and he took it apart a couple of years ago to fix
>it and got called up for foreign assignment (he's in the USAF) so he
>hasn't gotten around to finding a new pivot pin and sort of lost
>interest in the project.
>
>The interior is all but completely out of the car. Only the driver seat
>remains. The rest is in his garage. The seat appears to be sound but
>needs covering. Foam is intact. I expect the passenger seat is in the
>same condition.
>
>The wheels and centercaps are in very good shape as are the lug nuts.
>
>The jack, tools and rear compartment cover are said to be in the guys
>garage along with the upholstery but is said to all be there.
>
>The rear bumper has a couple of minor flaws but could be brought back to
>perfect very easily by any repuutable chrome shop.
>
>The engine has an oil cooler that adapts to the filter port. It has a
>dinky little screw on filter attached to the side of the adapter.
>
>All I am going to keep is the frame, with suspension, and braking
>system. The rest is available so if anybody wants anything, make an
>offer. It cannot stay around long, Too much other stuff crowds the new
>shop.
>
>BTW, it is all in Arizona, just south of Tucson.
