Hi everybody,
I test drove a side-of-the-road speedster last night. It's titled as a 1998 Speedster, has 37k miles - no information on which engine, but it was pretty peppy. It's being sold by somebody who bought it from the original owner/builder. The body's in pretty bad shape, lots of scratches, holes, dings, etc. Loose steering, weak brakes, lots of missing screws, rust on the frame underneath and inside under the seats. None of the doors/hood/trunk align well, etc. The interior wasn't very good when new, and looks like it's been left in the rain a few times, driven by some young kids, etc.
The seller wants $7500, but will probably sell for $6k. My question is - I don't mind doing repairs and taking my time to make it nice - but with all these issues - would it just be a waste of time and money to start with this as a project?
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions. I'm new to this site and have been reading for the last two days - very cool that you're all here.
