You may want to check out the rest of the body for rust problems and re-evaluate before you go too much farther.
The jack points are looking kinda scary. All 4 doors have rust at the bottom. There is surface rust appearing on the front doors.

I know the car needs a bit of work. I'll try to borrow a friends camera tomorrow and take bunches of pictures.

I'm working off of my graduate student stipend. So, I really have a limited budget. I was planning on tackling the larger stuff this summer (starting with a brake job)...but recent happenings have left me asking myself questions.

If it comes down to it, I may have to resort to selling the vehicle as a running parts car . The pictures will help you guys see what I'm talking about.
