Hey, looking for some advice before I go and pick up this Del Sol, im hoping to make it a project car, so it wont be a daily driver. Below are pics showing the current body damage, but paint looks mint in the non rusted areas :P
-Engine and tranny are running strong, 290k though
-Hood will need to be replaced, as well as other body work: front bumber, rear quarter panel are the major areas.

can anyone recommend a place where I can get some of this body work fixed at a really good price. Im trying to weigh out the costs in repairs before I grab it, thanks in advance!!!

Damn.. there isnt much left of that sol! ..

Unless your getting it for like $500 bucks.. I wouldnt pick it up.

^^^ Agreed, but if you do decide on it, get Fadi's number from Mike, where his car is in the shop! Great guy!

R3dLine

the guys is offering it for like 1500, not worth it?

any idea how much he charges?

It will depend on the amount of work - Mike's car for custom paint and basically a new rear end to the car is around $5500! BUt for the amount of work it is an excellent price for all the new metal plus labour!

Talk to Mike, even go with him to see his hatch and talk to the guy!

He reminds me of Sylvester Stallone ha ha!

I just looked at the pictures again.. the roof is rusted out.. it is worth less then $500!..

You'll spend close to 8000g's I bet just trying to get the body done..

Delsol parts are hard to find.. so they cost alot more..


do you even know what the floor is like?.. remember that the roofs leak, so all the water pools on the floor and rot there too.

I would spend a little more (3000-4000) and buy something that doesnt need a TON of work.

they rust around the weather seal on the roof around the windshield check it lol

No, keep looking. Not worth the hassle and time unless you were looking to do bodywork as a hobby.

I wouldn't even pay $500 for that POS

definately wouldnt get it, you can find something alot better for that price.

1500 for that???

man the car is old , it also has plenty of damage in the body , rust everywhere.

I would not give him more than 500 and he should consider himself lucky if he even gets that much.

If he takes that car to the junkyard they may give him 50 bucks

Like everyone said , it is not worth the hassle unless you are taking a body work course in college and even then you can get better smash cars for 1500

For 1500 no way! You'll be paying out the *** for repairs!

crazychinaman

personally i dont like the del sols so therefore i wouldnt get it, lol.

raman

to expensive + there is probaly other stuff thats messed up with it that you won't know about until you buy it.

R3dLine

sooo true, good points from all of you, I'll keep looking and invest my money in something more worth while. Thanks everyone for looking and giving your opinion

viper_2_4

buy a Miata, you'll be happier

but ya, that one is worth less then $500
