As some of you know, I've been scouring the net looking for a possible 2nd gen thats in my price range. I have a 3rd gen, but would like to sell /trade it for a 2nd gen TA. The link below is for a 79TA in New Egypt, NJ that a guy is willing to trade. I haven't contacted him yet, however I am considering it.

Does that look like a running project car that could be fixed up enough to drive as a weekend cruiser? I know money is an issue, I am just looking for something that I could workon myself with the occasional help from board members. I don't have enough experience with the engine bay of a 2nd gen to know if it looks like a hack job, or if its in decent enough shape.

Normally I would place a value on that car around 4k, however with all the mods and shoe-horning he had to do with the engine, the interior work that needs to be done, and the awful condition of the paint, I don't think its worth even that much.

Opinions wanted.
