Found a 92 LX Vert with some rear end damage for $1600. its the color me and my wife want already, it has a black working convertible top that lines up near perfect, 4 cyl auto. No apparent frame damage, but plan to take it to my body guy before I pull the trigger on it. everything works good as far as AC radio power options, brakes, seatbelts, and my 6 year old daughter approves and wants to help me work on it. I am sure I am looking at $3500 in body work to get it as perfect as I want it. Late Model Resto will be added to my favorites list on Mozilla. I just look at the car and see a ton of good and some bad and overall a great amount of potential. Even though it is a 4 cyl car and will be driven until I start the motor work I think the FIRST thing I will do is add Full length Subframe connectors as they really stiffen out the body on these Fox cars.
What do you guys think? This is possibly a long term car that may very well be passed to my daughter in 10 years if I buy it. Would you guys do it? Financially I know I am buying a money pit, and will never get 1/4 out of it I put into it if I ever had to sell it, but the low starting price seems like a good starting point.
Can't seem to find used or new convertible rear driver quarter panels anywhere though so that has me worried!
Any tips?
