Please tell me it was rusty beyond belief... Or did you only scrap it because it was bronzit?

No kidding! Why on earth did that get scrapped?

A common tactic to get more money in the winter ,soak the seats with a garden hose. The water freezes and the weight goes up. I have never done this but I hear of it every winter.

And you gave your wife the entire $113 dollars they gave you for it, right?

Some fairly decent rust issues (hole all the way through up by the pedals, normal trunk area, rockers) basically nothing you could see until the interior came out for the OBD-1 S52 swap.

When we got the body kit off during the swap we saw it was hiding light crash damage.

Then after we were done with swap, also did big brakes, rebuilt the GC camper plates, redyed the black sport interior.............basically put a ton of work into it to make it my ideal E30.

225 miles later the headgasket checked out. The original m20 did the same right after a water pump/timing belt/tune up.

I was so disappointed, I just fixed the S52, parted the entire car

i tried to sell it for $400 everywhere first.

i made sure to throw a bad battery in it then jump it to get it started. the big truck has a messed up clutch so i did not have the means to tow it in. i guess i could have borrowed my dad's suburban but with 330K+ miles the rear springs are worn out.

getting ready to do my 76 c30 dump truck, we are keeping the 350, 4 speed, dump frame and hydraulics, and the 14 bolt. also have to scrap my p71 when i pull the engine and some other parts out.

This reminds me, I've got to get rid of this Buick I pulled the engine out of.
