Yesterday was the day....
I looked at the car and I have to say it was absolutely terrible.
A lot of parts like almost the whole front end, the complete muffler, interiour things were missing. A lot of rust ... mainly everywhere you have told me to look and beyond. On top of all the car must have had an accident. The guy couldn´t (or didn´t want to) tell me what happended, but it seemed like something hit it from behind on the left corner....

All together was just too much for a Basis to restore, so I decided to let this one go.
Now my search will continue and I hope something will cross my ways soon.

Thanks again and I will Keep you posted.

Yes it really does suck... But I guess thats life...

As soon as I find a new canditate I will let you know.
I will be also looking in the states, since I am in Wisconsin on a regular Basis I always have the Chance to look at a car over there.

Thanks for your help so far!!

Thank goodness you were able to ignore the little "Go-on-buy-it. Its- not-that-bad" voice we all get. Better luck next time. At least you know where a parts car is!
