Re: How much rust till it's a parts car?

[Menko Johnson <menkoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jeez, that's a tough question.  Do you love the car?  If you do, you
can do it.  Will it cost more than its "worth"?  Sure thing.  Big
question is, do you have the time?  How many cars are "95% restored"
but never finished.

But if its worth even the price of the engine, you're happy and good.

I'll look for a body out here for you that you can ship back ;-)
