I build race cars Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,748 Joined: 31-August 05 From: Central coast, CA Member No.: 874 |
Ya, there's the money, but I'm having trouble seeing much value in that as a donor car even if it was 1/2 that cost. The only advantage I see for a AI/AIX/ST build would be the lack of body seam sealer (I can't tell from the pics but AFAIK the BW chassis have no seam sealer). The black paint is horrible, the exterior will get trashed during the build but the interior would be much better to build in just primer. There are lots of clean rust free nearly free chassis out here, the BIW would save maybe 5-10hrs prep vs a boneyard donor. And all the suspension bits and a Kmember have to be sourced before it can even be rolled around without a dolly. This thing would nickel dime a build budget.
