Not mine, wasn't looking for a project, but some of you may be.

"1983 Alfa Romeo Spider. I bought this car about 3 years ago. I drove it home. It had some fuel lines leaking from dry-rot, so up on jack stands it went and has been there every since. I removed all the hoses and fuel pump, transmission (to replace the rear main seal and clutch), most of the exterior trim and the rotten carpet. The top is very nice as are the seats. It has 5 magnesium factory wheels. I replaced the rotors, wheel bearings, rebuilt the calipers and installed braided brake lines on all 4 corners. I stripped the floor boards (they are 99% perfect small rust around two drain plugs) and applied spray on bed liner. The car has a small amount of rust around the battery in the trunk, on the deck lid and the lh rocker. The rest is very workable. I also had the fuel injectors cleaned and flow benched because the tank had very old gas in it. I had lots of plans that I now do not have time for. I have to dig out the paperwork, but I gave 1600 for it. I have spent another 6-800 on it since. I would like to get 1000 for it as it sits. It will has a clear Indiana title. This is purely a project."

If I see correctly, there are holes in the spare tire well - meaning there is probably worse rust lurking about. The devil's advocate in me is mentioning that spray-in bedliner is a great way to hide rust, too; even if it was as clean as he claims, there's definitely no way to prove it now!

Still, looks to be worth the price in parts alone.
