apparently it has a broken water jacket seal. Its a nice fc, and im sure if i get it running I can sell it and make some profit.

Worth it?

I'd say so, its atleast worth checking out in person if your really serious. Depending on body work and how much somone will do the rebuild for or you can do it for. Would prolly wanna watch out though, 1K isn't exactly some top of the line paint job IMHO.

It all depends on the paint job. If you supply paint and do the body work and prime, then that would be a very reasonable price.

I've painted cars for $100 dollars in paint and materials and had a very nice, durable paint job. But I can paint and do body work.

it is cheap, due to engine problems. But the paint looks like it needs work too.
I mean, after you restore the engine and the paint, it's gonna prolly grow into you and ur gonna end up keeping it
buy it!

It sounds like a decent deal but if your planning on making a profit when you sell it you may be in for a suprise. An NA FC has a price celing no matter what is done to it.

One that nice, he could easily turn a profit. He may not strike it rich, but he could make a profit.

Car for $750, pick up a good n/a keg for $300, sell the car for $2000.

Yeah. I know what you mean.

But you never know. I bought a blown N/A, replaced the engine, slave cylinder, fuel pump, and filter. It's still on the road.
