Here are some pictures of the "Rusty Pig". This car came out of Miami and has a salvage title. I was a flood vehicle so I assume it was in the process of being painted then they had a flood.  I was hoping they wouldn't spend the time and paint to paint a "Rusty Pig" but I was mistaken

I believe it's been lowered. Haven't looked to see how they did it yet..

Rockers look bad and would really need some work

This is the part I hate most, the cowl area needs work...

Early air cleaner I believe. I believe the engine has been replaced. Also shouldn't it have the early valve cover...

Some new door seals in the box...

Rear pan is wrong. The replacement from Zedd Findings is inside the car

Yes, just got here last week. Many times these cars will start and run once they dry out and you change the fluids...

On the last pic, is that the water line I see on the speedo & tach? That's a big project.

Probably, if you look at the drivers door picture the yellow line near the door handle is the water line...

Even if all the electrical were bad I have all of that here in spare parts. The rust is the bigger issue for me. I don't really want another big body and paint project...

Very nice! This is my kinda project. Rode hard and put away wet; Very wet. 

That thing isn't rusty, I've shown you what rusty looks like. That hole in the side of the cowl is a bit strange. Get that fender off and have a look.

I agree this car isn't a rusty as your latest but at that point I'm not sure it's a car. It might be a bunch of spare parts held together with rust... :P

If you look at the pics of the hatch opening you can see where the tail pan was spliced in.

I noticed that there looks to be a good bit of filler in the rear hatch area where they normally rust. I guess it's possible they replaced the whole rear end with a 260z rear section. I will have to get underneath at some point to see if I can see what kind of signs I can find of welding
