In any case, good luck. You didn't pay all that much.
Fix it up a little bit and you could double your money reselling it on eBay if you decide not to keep it.

Yes, very suspiciuos. The fender liners were actually the first thing I checked for rust underneath: all clean. And the non standard headlights (the fog lights only) were probably installed after an accident years ago.
What for sure is the work of some dumb kids is the ripped out screw on the passenger door handle. There was actually a piece of metal ripped out of the inside door. Somebody must have stood on it leaning out of the window or so.
Otherwise I'm making some progress: new brakes installed, interior lights fixed (shortcut in dimmer inside instrument cluster), etc., but I also found a loose guide rod mounting.
Does anybody have a clou about the vibrations I'm getting around 1500rpm? Could it be the leaking fuel element on top of the IP? (like one cylinder not getting enough fuel or so?) Maybe I post a new thread...
And thank you all for your support. I will bring it to the next NE GTG, converted to WVO and everything working.
