He wants to learn a lot about welding and fabrication. I think we have found his practice pad. Michael is 12 now. ANYTHING that happens to this car is a 'good' thing. It has been passed over 3 times when the crusher was hungery.
I have a 2.5 out of a 92 Dakota with a 5 speed attatched. This COULD work!
Click link in my signature and go to 60 Austin Healey album
I've seen worse advertised as resto projects. Word of note, that car would be absolutely worthless with anything but a 948 in it in the AH world. Even the later Midget/Sprite engines drop it drastically in value. Probably worth 500 as it sits now.
