    Front end frame was too damaged to care about fixing. I'll upload some photos when I get things organized a bit more but for now everything is out of the engine compartment and available for cheap. Power steering, w/p, alternator, etc all worked (except for A/C) when I took it apart. Engine and trans are still together and also ran when I took them out. Dash is in good condition with the exception of the bezel and one vent.

    I'd like to get $100 for the engine and trans (OBO)

    Everything else is $10 each, (OBO)

    Axles and control arms are unavailable

    Black clipper bumpers and rocker covers

    Fenders aren't so pretty but available for cheap

    Every time I see this car I die a little more inside. I hate it and I'm going to take this thing to the recycler A.S.A.P. I don't know how much of it will sit around on the shelf or not so if you need anything come pick it up and give me a few bucks.

    Yeah. Some of the linkage up front may not have a couple of hardware pieces.

    I know the A/C doesn't work, but do you have all of the lines? Is the condenser smashed or is it still okay? I could use a few odds n ends for my cabby.

    I know at least some of the lines are cut, the compressor I took off and it seems to be fine. Idunno if it's good but there was no refrigerant in the lines - which may have something to do with why the A/C didn't work.

    Sorry for the delayed response. Here are some photos of fenders fending, seats seating, parts parting and an engine bleeding a substance that looks like crimson rags:











    The body has been stripped of most paint; I started etch priming when I found the front end to be in a shape that no man could ever love so that's why the strange coloring on the fenders. Some surface rusts exists - not much.

    I'll check those things when I get home.

    This thing's probably getting crushed within a week or two with the weather coming on so if anyone needs something....
