What shoudl I do? I just picked up a 90 SC T-Bird. It's rusty, real rusty.
It has a supercharged V6 and about 105k miles on it.
The inside is nice, there is no rust visable in the trunk.
The paint is shot. Fog lights don't work, or the AC.
The drivers rocker panel is gone, so is the bottom of the drivers fender.
There are rust patchs on the driver side Q panel.
The passenger fender is pretty banged up.
It needs a cam sensor - real hard to start.
Front bumber is there - but pretty rough.
I can't really afford to put a fortune in it, but I like the car. Got it for cheap, and have about 10 months before the inspection runs out.
So what do I do? Sell it, part it out, park it hoping to win the lottery?
Should I look for a plain jane T-Bird and swap parts?
I know these are sweet cars, and I like how it rides . . . but it seems to be
a bit much for me considering everything. Any thoughts orsuggestions?
Thanks
