Personally, I would vote for parting it out. Who knows what happened to the engine. Especially if this guy gives the same attention to the engine as he does the body work. Doesn't sound like there was too much attention to detail. Hopefully you got a deal on it. Good luck.

How much did u pay for it--i would of just cut my losses after seeing that and walked away--unless you gave him alot less then what he originally wanted?

Get rid of it!! I see nothing but trouble coming from it. WHo knows what else your going to find, even if you throw a new motor in god knows whats done to the body. I have heard stories of people gettin a car that sis actualy 3 stolen cars welded togeather...you dont wanna end up with a nightmare like that.
