hey all,
i bought a 68 Merc Cougar a while ago and have been mostly not doing anyhting with it. Most of my money and time has gone into my mustang this summer. But i was planning on paying a body shop to get started on my cougar towards the end of the summer. a friend of mine restored a 67 cougar recently and came over to give his opinion, and his was that my car is too far gone to salvage, considering i can buy a rust free or mostly rust free coug for $1-2k. About the only thing good on my car is the rocker sills and the roof. it was in an accident so the front is all mangled up, the floors are literally non existant, and theres lots of holes in the trunk and on the quarters. Ive torn it down to the shell, so my friend says i could just buy a rust free shell and slap all my stuff on it. And he's right.
Still though, the thought of crushing a classic car like this is hard to accept. There arent many of these things left, but i think my friend might be right.
Just a little vent
