I bought front fenders for $17 at the local Pick n Pull. Got one mailorder for $138, and they sell for that from local suppliers. Fenders are easy to replace. So is the center section, headlights, etc. Checkout your local junkyards for parts.

I just took this thing for a drive. Turns out it has 190k on it and the guy doesnt think that it has had a new motor in it. The suspension is not very good in it either. But it did seem to run well. I dont have a compression tester anywhere around me, so i cant check that. Im just not sure. I dont know if i should get this for a parts car, or try to fix it up.

Thats called a pseudo compression test and doesn't yield any numbers
