  • Think it's worth saving ?

    This is the white one I just bought for my niece to drive back and forth to work,temporarily.Really low miles,runs great,but,body,as u can see,is rough.Think it is worth saving this body or transplant everything over to a better body ?Roof is so dented,too.

        i'd say my mazda had even holes in the roof, and with a week of work, everything can be done

        i'd say its possible

          I agree... I'd say keep it and just work on it as you can. I have had no training in any body work or paint job, but I've been working on mine the best I could.

            Take off the headliner--it's easy--then gently tap out the dents in the roof with a rubber mallet.

            For the rear rust, what about using POR-15? http://www.por15.com/POR-15/productinfo/1GB/

              I was all for saving it until I got to pic number 5. Making me wonder how well the whole undercarriage is holding up. Assuming you have crawled under and taken a look? If the undercarriage is solid, I say fix it. 92K miles is not even warmed up yet. You should def. have the parts and panels needed.

                    Id agree with batstiva on this. crawl underneath and give the undercarriage a good going over. Then go from there.
