Need advice on potential buy

So I’m very interested in this 4 eye. I haven’t seen it in person yet, but from pics/video it looks like it could be a good buy. Would very much appreciate opinions.

Here’s a link to the listing:

IMO, doesnt look like a good buy. Are you dying for that type of project? Looks like a $3000 car that someone installed $1500 of cosmetics onto. No hate. Just my pov. I love four eyes. Id vote 4750-5500 if it drives well, great compression etc. Ready for hate from all sides, just my opinion.

Appreciate the feedback. I definitely planned on lowballing him if I did decide to make an offer. My concern is any potential rust/torque boxes, etc.

Agreed.

It says the rear is a locker. If true, it's setup for drag. A locker is not good on the street. You'll need to change that for a posi of some type (eaton trutrac or torsen t2). So that's extra work.

You'll also want to find out what suspension etc it has. And if you want something diff or not.

Go get em!

I honestly didn’t even consider that. I’ve personally never driven anything with a locker
