I bet the rust isnt that bad really, bet its mostly burnt paint. Reckon they are probably more solid than most projects picked up in this country

It's not that they love it, it's because when the US put a trade embargo in place they couldn't get anything newer, just a few Ladas, so had to figure out ways to keep the old yank-tanks running.

I bet you are right on that one.

Anyone watch Fast and Loud? I've seen them buy a few vehicles in this sort of condition and often the bodywork is fine in terms of solidness, in fact one car they just left it with that rusty rat look and just sorted the mechanicals out and sold it for $20k.

Mike Brewer will buy that lot up just to keep wheeler Dealers going for another 30 years .

Believe it or not, it can rain, even in a desert!

By looking at the pics, there is clear evidence of rust.
