Ok so last summer John (SMOKEDYA) and I put the engine and tranny of what used to be John's green 95 (which he and I traded cars so it became mine) into an 88gt. Well, it looked to me that the body had only minor frame damage that could be repaired no big deal maybe 1500 bucks or so right? Well I took her in to have the thing looked at to see what it would cost to repair this damage and now the guy is telling me that it will likely be a much greater expense...see the car drives great but the door doesn't open quite right and there are some gaps in between body panels on the driver's side. Also the driver's side wheel is slightly pushed back...Well the guy at the shop says that the car is most likely unsafe to drive at high speeds, so I am afraid that if I keep driving it, that the car is going to fall apart on me on the freeway and I am gna die or something! this all seems really crazy to me because looking at the car it looks not bad at all..
So what should I do, I have an essentially useless body with a 60,000 mile 302 in it with thousands into the motor and tranny and I lack the know how to pull her out and part out the thing....I am sure that John won't want to go through the project of pulling everything back out with me, so I am kinda stuck here...I would be willing to sell the car but I'd want to do it as a whole, but whomever buys it must know that the front end looks fine, but it IS NOT FINE!..
