Default RWD saff project on eBay

Could be a little project for someone who is not afraid to get there hands dirty if it go's cheap. No log book but that's easy to sort if it's hpi clear that wouldn't bother me. Could be good if the under side is not totally rotten

That would cost thousands to restore. He wants 5k for it, just the respray would cost over 3k not to mention probably an engine rebuild, you'd have to bare shell it and replace every single bush and most parts on it, may as well spent 10k and get a nice one. Bet this doesn't have any history to back up the mileage either. Only way it would be financially viable is if u could do the paint yourself like a body shop guy etc

True, I still look at them at the value when I bought mine, I always thought they were too cheap back in the day, they always seemed worth more than they were, suppose now that most got broken for parts the prices are gonna go up and up
