Rusted fuel lines

Good day im thinking of buying a FB with rusted out fuel lines and im just wondering what work does it involve doing ? How much will it take? Hes selling it for 1200 in decent shape just been sitting since 1990.

If the fuel lines are rusted and it's been sitting since 1990, the body and engine better be in dam good shape for that price. My guess is that the gas tank will need to be replaced along with probably the engine along with major rust repair on the body/frame. Used gas tanks are hard to find and new ones are pretty expensive if you can find them.

Post some pictures

Its not in decent shape if the lines are rusted. Its worth maybe 1/2 that price.

I'll agree with the first two responses, maybe half the asking price depending on accessories. If it's got wheels, is a GSL-SE, has some decent aftermarket parts, something like that then maybe it's worth a few hundred bucks. Post some pics here and we will help determine value.
