[QUOTE=FB#1;1566153283]Some early 81s had leafs, mine does. From the rust patterns it looks like it been either stored with the windows down, tops out or been in water.

Don't do it. You should see the mess I'm in right now from getting started in my project...it just isn;t worth it. Keep looking.

I agree with the others. To expensive for a parts car and there are to many good deals out there on better cars. Youv'e seen the 73 I recently got for a steal when we were both at Luigis in Frisco. There are still a lot of deal out there. Keep searching

Check your PM. I found one locally that could be a good deal for you. 52,000 original miles 82 priced about $10K

My brother is looking for a project thats anout 2K to 5K or so. Just like me he will have to be spending his own money on the car, and as of right now its limited to that.

Thanks for your help!

I got lucky and found a project car with very little frame rust but, it still needs lots of work. The initial price of the car is just the beginning. Please, take your time and look around.
