    so i was right that with all my cash for the spare parts you'd find a complete car :p
    i just hope that my floor pans don't come out of this one ;)

    nice find, congrats on the score!

    Add a new drivetrain and it's a good beater. Half a grand for a Grabber is awesome.

    the pass side door is just surface rust, the rest is solid. the driver's door was wrecked yrs ago and poorly repaired. to make a decent car, it would need both fenders, dr side door and hood repair (not to mention qt panel repair and floor patches).

    If it's salvageable, then by all means, do it. They aren't building any more of them. I love that color combo.

    here's some more pictures. as u can see the front floors need work but really arent all that bad, the passenger side fender is repairable, so i would only need a dr fender and door. see for yourselves and lemme know what u think...
