Rusted on one side nice seats! Emailing to go buy hopefully its in good enough shape despite the heavy rust on one side.

i love those roof racks. front fenders are easy to replace and the rust on that one is fine, you would have plenty of time to find a replacement fender before the current one starts flopping and banging around. the ad says 83 but it looks more like an 85-86 with that grill, the antenna on the right, and the non-flip flop mirrors.

if it runs well and there are no bad surprises, that price would not unreasonable.

seems a bit high price for that condition. although that could be an aftermarket fender (from an earlier repair), they are thinner and not coated to protect against rust like the factory fender. I have owned a rust free car with one after market fender completely gone like that. I found a matching factory fender at the wrecking yard and fixed that problem. Made the whole car look like new, the 30 year old factor paint from a different car matched better than the faded aftermarket paint that was on it. what crap.

Yeah seems like I'll be looking at it tomorrow. Going with a mechanic friend to check it out he also says it shouldn't be hard to find any parts here so hopefully I'll be able to find everything.

Going to probably try and haggle down to 800 as its got a fair few KM and some very visible rust. If he goes for it and there is no transmission issues I'll likely have it by the end of the week.

Seats are great!! But the rest is pretty shot. Super Rusty everywhere. Sway bar bushings missing because the bracket is also missing from rust. Leaking everything. Buddy said to stay away, would be good as a parts car if it runs well but I didn't even get that far because it wasn't worth it.
