    Okay Guys need an opinion. My grilfriend wants this car bad. It's a heap of rusty metal in my opinion but could be done with alot of blood sweat and a bit more blood and extra dollars. bThe floor of this car is gone from rocker to rocker firewall to trunk. Has no title I can't find the vin due to it's either rusted away or just not looking in the right place. I can pick the car up for about $125 has some good parts but no floor. I'll see if I can post the pics.



    Any suggestions ?

    first, Henry Js were made from 51 to 54. on the Kaisers there was a metal (aluminum?) plate on the firewall, cowl, under the hood. Not many of them left, the choice is yours but be sure you want to take on that big of a project first. I'd look for a car in better condition myself. It's always cheaper in the long run to buy the car in the best condition that you can find/ afford.

    Well we decided against getting this car. Girlfriend is a bit upset but the guy wouldn't come down on his price. So we decided against getting it. SO we are on the look out for something else
