look like shyyyht.

i'd take out the manual trans/parts, and then part out the rest of the car.

then buy yourself an SC thats in better condition.

Car looks rough, especially since the previous owner didn't even bother to spray some paint over the bare metal on the destroyed rear end so it rusted.

Seems like hate but they probably right. By the time you fix that you might have gotten one that was untouched. I'd keep the car until you find a good one and then use what you want THEN part it out. Grey is better than tan.
