i would tear the whole car down, starting with the frame and go from their! in the condition you describe it sounds like a restoration is needed :yesnod:

gbodyparts.com may be a good source for replacement parts postons or try the parts for sale for real good deals.

You already need 3 windows, and you have a bad motor. Depending on what sort of condition the rest of the car is in, it may be worth more as a parts car than trying to restore it. It will be a LOT of work, and the car will likely never be worth more than $4-$5000 at best given its current condition and the fact that its a non-intercooled car. It probably needs $1000 or more in parts just to get it licensed and driveable at this point. Choose your direction carefully.

From what you've described, I think you should take the $2500 and use the money to invest in a GN or T that needs less to be driveable. Or is driveable. I fear you have a long road ahead...
