rescue operation

[Ishtata]

ok i know she is in poor looking condition atm am wondering if you can help me out with the color of it i have it on rims its just being shipped to me atm and dont have acsess to the codes inside i only paid 450 it but it has no rust full callis interior complete bar a roof lining and no motor or box i only work three shidfts a week at the local pub as i have a bad knee so its a budget build but its straight and as i said no rust so im happy any help or hints would be great

[Astranomical]

Looks like a great starting point for a project, as you said it looks like crap now, but I think if you put a bit of work into it, a new coat of paint, etc, it'll come up really nice. Hope you enjoy working on it, and keep us updated!

yeh definatley a new coat of paint looking at the roof
but if you say its as straight as a dye and has all interior and only needs a motor and box becuase you can pick a motor + box for under 800 even less if you look hard enough
if i was you man go for it
hope my opninion helps
