Hi Guys, dont know if you all read my n00b introduction but Im in a process of trying to acquire a S130 but the only real obstacle thats getting in my way is the last saying from my wife. But just thought to post some pics on the condition of the S130 that Im having my eyes on. What do you guys think??

The Gas tank issue:

how are the rails and floor pans? are these cars hard to come by in hawaii? its hard to say how much work is needed since you cant see the car run personally. guess you can take worst case scenario price the parts to fix it and see if its worth your time.

That is junk - better to look around some more.

I'm afraid I'd have to agree with Rick.....junk. At best it's a parts car.

Agreed - Keep Looking...that one is too far gone already.

it'll buff out.

HAHA... patience, this is not the car your looking for.

Ya I would "buff" that with a plasma cutter and take to a yard for scrap. Save all the good parts first of course! Body is junk junk junk. You can find one that body style here in Oregon for as low as 500 bucks in way better shape. I have seen one or two with hardly no rust for 1000. Might be worth it for you to have it shipped if your serious about have a great car.

I agree with all above that car will kill you financially. It's not possible to do a cheap repair on that kind of rust.

:eek: :hurt:

Do yourself and your wallet a favor and keep looking Whats the highest your willing to spend on one? Are you willing to do the work yourself on it?

Rust bucket alert!! Run away, far far away! It would cost you less to buy one here and have it shipped than it would to to repair all that rust. Remember that the rust you see on the outside is probably less than half of what's under the covers.

the car looks in a real bad condition.. if you dont act now the rust can kill the beauty! but get ready to shell out huge bucks in maintaining and bringing it back to original condition!

yeah I think we are all beating a dead horse here. I wouldn't wish that resto on my worse enemy
