Default 1979 SC with rust up front

What do you guys think of this rust up front? I see more but looks like big dollar signs here.

Thanks, Spicey

restoration project.
Anything is doable.

However, Resale of a restored SC is not there to warrant a restoration. (yet)

pass, unless they are giving it away.....get/buy the nicest one you can afford....always cheaper than a restoration unless you do everything yourself.

This is a totally doable project if you have some welding skill

this is from a boiled over battery . You will have to drop the tank and put a new front piece in. One of the rennlisters here in Toronto did it. I think he got his panels from restoration design. cut out the old ones and welded in the new. Not a total restoration but I saw the job he did and it looks amazing.
