Welcome!

The outside of the 880 looks good. What do you need to do to it?

Thanks! yeah body is pretty straight, the trimming and bumpers are in tact however I notice rust at all of the major areas that water been seeping through from the window seals and the rear trunk area is pretty bad. I'll be taking her to many various body shops to get pro advice. I understand that these are the unibody type so is there an added cost for body rust jobs because we can't separate body from frame?
My main priority right now is to stop the rust from spreading, then I can move on from there.
The day I bought it I drove it for about 55miles and ran fine. Could use more HP though. The brakes need to be converted to front disk and the suspension is shot. I'm pretty good at doing work myself, like pulling the motor and trans. I can upgrade the suspensions myself, not a problem. It's the serious stuff that I'll need to have a mechanic do.
any suggestions from you would be awesome!

thanks,
rand
