This Or A Pandora

[j.pickens]

Look closely at the lower portions of the squareback, and at the interior floor pans.
If they are rotted through, as is common for this model, walk away.
Unless you plan to take up welding, it will be very expensive to bring to "daily driver" status.
Meaning that it is fixed to where you can drive it in all weather, and not have it leak rain and slush into the body interior, causing further deterioration.

Buy a good road bike and an electric bicycle kit if you need transportation. It'll cost you less in the long run.

Man if there's one thing I love it's a vintage air cooled car.

Your cancer does not look too bad, see some bondo there, looks like it didn't rust from the wheel well out but the outside in, probably wasn't done right the first time leading it to rust like that. Usually the whole floor pan falls out. Make sure the heater hoses are sound, they can turn it into a gas chamber.

Well this is a refreshing change from all the "Should I get a Pandora or an Eee/Iphone" threads!
