If we get the car I'd like to look into getting some frame parts to replace the rusty ones in my car. Stuff like the formed plate that the upper and lower control arms on the rear suspension bolt to. Mine is nice and rusty and is starting to have a little exfoliation corrosion, so if the one on this car is in good shape I can use it. Or I can use this one and clean it up and refinish it then take mine off Plus corey can replace his bent rear control arm.

Then we can take th eexhasut system off, and someone can use it, or we can sell it.

Same thing with the brakes.

If we need a place to store it, or even a trailer to transport it, I know someone who has a flat bed trailer that might let me borrow it to transport the car. This person also might let us store it at his place, and possibly let us use his shop for stripping it as well.

well if we find where it is going then couldn't we go and just take what we want for the cost they will charge for the parts?
