Hey folks what's up? I'm getting back into the 240 scene, I know it's been forever since my last post, lol. I've had a hatch at my mom's house for like 3 years now and I finally got it towed to my place. The car doesn't run, nor is it registered so I couldn't store it at the apartment complex where I was living. Now I have a house with a garage and so I figured it was about time to get things going.
With all that being said, I want to get some feedback on my situation. I gave the car a good wash the other day to get all the growth and dirt off the exterior. The interior reeks of mildew because of a sunroof leak, so I'm looking at taking everything out of there too. The car has rust basically everywhere after sitting outside for 3 years uncovered. I'm planning a v8 swap and so essentially I'm looking reworking 98% of the car. My question to you all is should I invest the time and money to get the bodywork done, or should I just junk this one and buy another car? The caveat being that S-chassis cars carry a pretty good premium, so I'll be looking at putting out at least $1500 for something in similar shape to what I already have.
