Well, my son and I looked at the TR this morning. It is a very solid car. The frame and body are very solid and I didn't see any rust whatsoever, the trunk and floor pan, both solid. The driver's side rocker has a small dent at the pinch seam bit no rust and there is a small dent under the passenger side door and again, no rust. The deck lid has a couple of very small dings at the rear edge and that's about it. The car does come with a ton of parts and even has a brand new carpet kit still in the plastic, brake rotors still in boxes and a whole bunch of parts in the trunk and interior. I was told the engine had been rebuilt but judging by the grime I saw around the oil pan it must've been many years ago. The car was originally brown and whoever painted it the color that it is now didn't prep very well and the paint is literally flaking off the body on edges and tops of the driver's door.
I say it is a solid car as far as the frame and body and would make a nice project for someone who has the time and it would need to be stored indoors as well as the top would need to be replaced immediately I'df stored outside. So, I have reached the conclusion that even though I think it is a sold TR, it is more of a project than I had anticipated and therefore I am walking away from this one, but hey my son thinks they are cool cars so, hmmm, maybe I will just look for a driver in the future.
