No, you have TWINS. If it drives, and it wasn't pulled over for burning oil like a Liberian tanker then you still have twins.

Unless, of course, there's a Lot of rust that doesn't show in this picture.

What happens if you open all the doors at once? LOL

If it drives, it is not a parts car. Its another project car.

I bought a parts car for $500 (86VDP). It looks way better than what I am fixing up. So, its not a parts car any more. I decided if I need parts I am buying them as I need them. I cannot gut a car that looks half way decent. So, one more project car.

To be more specific on parts car. I plan on using the better parts on my nice one but keeping the parts car operable. It has some pretty bad rust in the floors. The inside is really used up. It has a two week old starter on it and about 3 months ago, new calipers, rotors, and pads were put on the rear. Tires he said have about 5000 miles. I'm not planning on stripping it and sending it to the scrap yard. I don't scrap classics of any make

So, you're about to have a Fred Flintstone car! I don't envy you that.

Nix was one of those when I got her (although I had No idea!), but I got her fixed up solid now.
