    My GTP has 208,000 runs great. The body has typical Michigan rocker rust. I've owned the car about 6 months and so far I've replaced the radiator, fuel pump, coolant elbows and a few other parts. I was offered a trade for a 1996 Firebird formula with 146,000 miles. It needs brakes and sway bar bushings. I not really sure what to do. What do you guys think???

    Drive it until the thing rusts out.

    You know it works well since you did the work...right?

    I'd save money like crazy...then when it really falls apart, you can rip the powertrain out...part out what is good...then scrap it and still get money and buy something else.

    Like maybe a '98+ F-Body that's got less mileage and doesn't need bushings/brakes, etc.

    How about that?
