I would definately do it if I were you. Gut it, put a cage in, make a sweet track car. You can drive salvage title cars too, you just wont get nearly as much money for it, but you could sell it on ebay as a track car.

I just see rusty brake rotors which is normal for any car that sits in the rain. Not a problem at all anyways since they need to be replaced after the cars sat on them. EVO brakes aren't all that impressive anyway, might as well toss some good pads in there!

Yeah it will get new rotors if all of this goes through as planned. Rotors will rust really fast like that but as soon as you hit the brakes the clean up. It is just surface rust it happens after I wash my truck and let it sit.

Also the car is in atlanta georgia... not much snow down here so no salt. I doubt the car has ever seen snow.
I'll update tomorrow after I see it in person.
thanks again,

Any update?

WOW intresting history.
We found in the car the some paperwork from where the 2nd owner bought the car for 28,100 bucks, we found a paystub, insurance info, loan company info, and get this HIS CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY PAPERS!!!
after some digging we know that the title is either with the insreance company or the loan company and the car sat for a wile a the tow yard (where the current owner got it) because it was a case of insurance FRUAD AND THE GUY HAD SOMEONE STEAL THE CAR FOR HIM so he could get the insrance money (explains alot like now problems with the ignition and only certain parts missing, the were "nice" thieves and unclipped instead of cutting wires and such)
we didn't really find any bad supprises on the car and I think if we can get the title from the insurance company we will buy the car to either put on ebay, fix and sell, or fix and keep.
I will update again when I find out about the title.
thanks for all of the help so far,

It still will have a salvage title because the insurance company paid a large claim on it. Still a good deal at the right price though.

So......any update Stuart?

Stuart and I tried to buy this car. We went and spent a few hours with it last weekend, and have spent the past week chasing down its title.

From everything I've found its still owned the original owner, who is suing the insurance company becuase they won't pay on it -they're claiming fraud. The insurance company moved it to behind the dealership because storage fee's were adding up. There is also a lein on the car and the original owner has declared bankruptcy... so anyway you look at it the car is VERY wrapped up in legal matters. To top everything off, the lein company and insurance company believe the car has MANY more parts than it does. Apparently they just keep disappearing.
