Thread: What am I doing in this corner ????

You know you want to.

Looks like it was well loved at one point in it's life, I assume it's cheap or free if it was heading to the scrapyard. If it is a auto and still has original torqueflite box and LT230 transfer it's worth getting as it seems incredibly difficult to find non-butchered early 4 doors now, just like a 2 door.

Rust in the front floor pans and bottom of firewall, rust in sills, obviously top tailgate is usually stuffed, pre-EFI RRCs had bolt on front ends so any rust in inner wings or radiator support panels is arguably easier to fix. Good condition interior parts for pre-facelift models are also hard to find - the ones with seperate armrests on the door cards.

I have a 1985 that has only 160,000KMs on it and almost zero rust but missing original motor, box and transfer unfortunately. I'd love to fix it up to a good 'factory' condition but don't have the room to do it, I think the early 4 doors will be a sound investment soon.

Thanks for all the replies.
It had left the day I rang for details. One of his mates is now the proud owner.
Looking also at a D1. 'Spider' problems by the sound of it.
Keep you posted in D1 section.
Bye for now, Back to the Series section, where I really feel safe.
