It has a crack in chassis near the drivers side control arm. 3AC engine runs great 176xxx miles with alot of life left! oil changed every 2000 miles. recently rebuilt 6 speed transmission shifts great and 4wd works. front qtrpanels are torn up a bit but they still retain basic shape and strength Interior is in good condition w/ no rips or tears. Power sunroof works and has never leaked! comes with late 90s sony aftermarket cd/stereo. has custom stainless steel exhaust from downpipe back w/o cat. comes with an extra set of wheels and an '83 transmission. Also comes with original 1987 owners manual.
i'd say that's more than a crack, and honestly wouldn't let anyone drive it away because it's really not safe to have that on the road. sorry to be a downer, olga19.
You might as well state up front that you are selling it as a parts car...probably not easily fixable...unless someone was a REAL pro welder. Has a good engine and trans...together worth $500-600? Good for someone that needs an new engine and a spare trans?
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

looks like milwalkee cars rust even worse than baltimore cars!!
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!
83 SR5 Silver/Blue (Snowmobile/work beater)-totaled but drivable
85 SR5 Blue
88 SR5 White (the 'good' one)-not anymore-totaled
87 fwd silver wagon a/t
87 4wd dx Cream (a/t- not anymore- now m/t)
A skilled welder could fix all that. The way it is now, it does not look safe to drive. You have the '87 grill and steering wheel, but also the '83-85 inclinometer, did you retro fit that into it?
In Australia the inclometer was not standard in the later model but I think it was an option? Seeing as that car has the sunroof/AC and nice interior. it might be worth rebuiding the underbody if you had the skills?

problem is- if that area is SO rotten, how bad is the rest of the unibody? i've had some rusty t4wd's, but never anything like that! parts car far as i'm concerned. ANYTHING can be fixed, but does it make sense?

Anyone wondering how this one has the inclinometer -- it's an '87! I thought those were discontinued after '84.

Lets see, to incline means a slope or grade, so an Inclinometer means to measure the slope. So inclinometer is the correct modern use if measuring the slope is our intent. But interestingly the on-line dictionary states the compound word dating from Indo-European means; in- into or toward, plus cline, to lean. So clinometer would be more accurate, because you are measuring how far the car is leaning, rather than the angle of the slope.
I like using mine as an accelerometer, to see how fast it can go around a turn. I should calibrate the scale into percent of one g.
