Another "Is it worth it " thread

[LaserSVT]

I really want to get another Fox since I got rid of the GT a few months back. I have always wanted a notch and I ran across this one. Its a 91 (I think, might be 92 ) with the engine and tranny out of a 95 Cobra. It also has the five lug conversion with the Cobra brakes. The guy said its stock except for o/r x-pipe and MAC cat back. The chasis has 150k on it and the motor has 60k. I dont know if its an original v-8 car and I forgot to get the vin to see if its an "E" code. It has some dings and on the drivers side he pulled out a dent that I am including a picture of, so the car is gonna need some body work and paint. He said it does not have rust in the jambs or trunk or shock towers. The interior is clean with no rips or stains, it just blue with the couch style bucket seats. Everything mechanicaly works great and tranny shifts perfect. The A/C does not work because they never wired up the relays, but I am great with wireing so I can handle it. He wants $4000 but I can get it for $3500.

So what do the pros think? Is it worth it?

wtf were they using the notch for target practice?

I don't think that it is worth that because that is a lot of body work that it needs. Just that drivers side is going to cost at least a grand. It looks like the passenger side door is crinkled along the bottom too, but that could just be the lighting. That motor is nothing really special, and if it is in Texas and doesn't have A/C just because ofg soem relays I have to question if it works at all.

The trunk doesn't sit level either. The car overall looks decent, but I wouldn't pay over $2800-3000 for it. Go check it out just to make sure, it may run really strong.

That 1/4 is why people that dont know how to do body work shouldnt attempt it.

The door jamb also looks like its got some rust that might become a hole once its ground down.
