I've been looking for one of these for a couple of years. Found this one on craigslist in FT.Worth Tx. I called the shop and he stated that the body is solid. The floor only had a 8" area that was bad. however it is amazing what some people call solid. I was led to believe that all rust was removed from the car. When you hide the rust under bondo the customer will never see. I feel for the previous owner as he paid more than top dollar for the repairs done. So my 8 month project will take a little longer than expected. however here are the starting pics.

what I found under the bondo. Here is approximately 10 inch's of rust hidden. Prior owner paid 650.00 for rust repair on roof. new roof skin on its way. wait till you see what was behind door #3.
any idea on how to post bigger pics?

Sucks that they covered the rust with bondo; at least you're finding it now and addressing it. You can use photobucket to post bigger pictures.

lucky you on the floor....mine was toast...hidden under bondo, paint, and tar of all things...it took forever to clean, only to see that the floor needed complete replacement...same story in the trunk. I have yet to blast the roof of paint to see what lies beneath!

Good luck with your timing...mine is going on 3 years and i just got it back on the ground.

Where in Texas are you? I am in Carrollton.

located in Italy, Tx. Floor turned out good however Qt pnl repair was on par with the roof. The shop charged the prior owner 1200. to put patch panels on, however he just welded over the existing qtr with out cutting the old out.

I'm just getting to the quarters on mine and seeing the exact same process...talk about a heavy but
