Rust too far gone?

Thank you for the replies all. Figured this one was trouble.. As some were saying these aren’t exactly easy to come by in perfect condition, and when they are it’s an arm and a leg of a price. I’ll back out of this one unfortunately.

 

It's dead Jim.

 

What was the asking on it? Not sure if those frame pics are plate rust or cracks but defiantly not ideal. But if something is rare/cheap enough I could make sense out of just about anything.. ~~just saying~~

Utah is a state that salts roads and this is the result. The control arms shouldn't be rusted much at all, you can see they are affected too. It looks really bad but you'd have to do a personal inspection with the hammer test, and pay close attention to the comment about cracks, if they are indeed cracks deal is off withouot a doubt.

Otherwise if you're up for a project it might be saved but needs immediate attention, like last year.

If it were me I'd use it as a haggling point to bring down the price. You have a lot of work to do and would have to get the woolwax or fluid film on it pronto.

If you're definitely passing, DM me the source, I'm looking for a project and Utah is not that far from me.

 

If you're in Utah check the "Moab Classifieds" Facebook group, I'm an ex-local and used to see relatively clean desert first gens up for sale there all the time.

 

Like I said up close and in person inspection and price .

It might also be needing much more work to just keep up the maintenance.
