NH CL: 1967 P1800S project for $1800

Looks like a nice resto project. Not mine, etc.

Man, that's entirely too close to home for comfort.

Why did I even look? E36 M3.

Those are evil nasty things to restore.

Can you give more information why they are evil to restore or what to look for?

Like most cars from that era, rust is the biggest problem. And the front fenders are welded on. Interior restoration can get very expensive. On the bright side, the mechanical stuff is simple and durable.

I think all the body seams were leaded. Next time you're next to one, look for seams. You won't see many.

Saying that car has "minimal rust" is like saying your g/f is "a little bit pregnant". It looks about as bad as mine, judging from these two pics. If it runs and drives well and doesn't need too many pricey trim bits, the price is reasonable.

I'd have to agree with Woody here. A rusty 1800 has hide a multitude of nightmares. This one should be named Freddy. I'd need to see more to make a more accurate assessment.

Yes, the body is all welded with most seems leaded. On the plus side, because rusty cars are so common, patch panels for most areas are available. However, you can easily spend $2000 for them all and they'll still need experienced tweaking to fit properly.
