    I just don't want to dick with it. If I have a turbo Prix I want it purple. It's not worth the time/effort finding a car and painting it.

    I looked at 40th anni cars but a nice low mile car is just too much money IMO. And in the end I probably won't be happy with it since I want something rwd. *cough* turbo Buick *cough* But that won't happen for quite some time since the bank won't loan on something that old.

    I think I'm better off taking a loss on the parts and being done with it

    Nope. First, I don't want a cage car no matter what it is. Second, still a rusty ****box GP

    Been calling my name for a long time. I could have one if the bank would loan on something that old but it won't happen. I'm pretty much gonna have to pay cash for most of it. I could do some on a personal loan but probably not a
    whole lot.

    As you can see, rusted to the point that tons of the pinch weld is gone.

    I would assume it's mag chloride. The DOT plow trucks have pink **** they throw on the roads

    Damn. That's rusted all right. Mine are just as bad, with a fist size hole in each of the rear strut towers. Getting mine fixed though. Cut out, re-welded, the works$$.

    Bad rust, bad.

    So, get another GP and swap parts? Or move on to a different platform?
