The car has basically been trashed in the name of spiffing it up. Whatever you 
wanted to do with it would now, whether darkside or lightside, be a truly major 
project. How much faith would you have in a car where the owner spent all of 
his time chroming various invisible suspension parts?

He says that replacing the ball joints got it up off the ground. This means 
that the ball joints are running against the limits of their internal travel, 
so you would have to readjust the suspension first thing, just to keep it from 
damaging its ball joints again.

What year is it? He doesn't say. It would certainly be nice if someone was 
willing to step forward and save this car, but I'm afraid Steven is right. 

It's probably only good for parts.

Sad.
