New "cheap" TD

I went to look at an 85TD today, This thing is never gonna be a
show car. Owner neglected to tell me about being sideswiped.

Damage to both pass. side doors and a little to the quarter panel.
Trans was very slow to go into first when parked 3 yrs. ago.
Odometer showing 386k.....was working.

Dirty..........very dirty. has not been started in 3 yrs.

99% rust free, a little at the antenna.

I offered $100

Now, what am I gonna do with the blue, third row seat and
both of those luggage rack cross bars I don't need

I believe I am gonna be in very good standing with
the cheap wagon club.

Hell, if I can sell off parts I don't need, and end up with
