    Parting this car out and can't keep it around long after it stripped. When I'm done it will be the unibody, doors, and wiring harness (I might rob a connector or 2). No frt end sheet metal, susp, stg column, driveline, wshield or int. should I have it hauled off or anybody have a use for it. No title and it would be hard to haul with no rear end or frt susp. Here's a pic as I'm just stripping parts off. The only rust is on the lower quarters. Lt rocker damage. Cowl solid. Low miles car and I think it was garaged. Dash reinforcement and dash pad reinforcement look new....they are bare metal when built. Not even surface rust. Oh and I did remove the dash pad.

    Somebody on the board (in PA or OH) was looking for nice doors for a 4 door.

    If the cowl is good, chop it out.

    If we were closer, I'd want that hood. (I know you didn't mention that being available ... just sayin'....)

    I'm going to sell the hood once I figure out how the Greyhound shipping thing works. I have a hood for my Maverick coming on Greyhound. I've sold a few parts off of it so far, just trying to recoup some of the money I paid for the car.

    I figured if someone had a rusty 4dr they really liked, this body might be of some use instead of scraping it.

    That's why I was hoping someone could find a use for it. I live in the city and can't have it around too long. It won't be long before codes is knocking. Due to time constraints, I won't be chopping it up.
