Body:
Sorry --- I was JOKING about the parts car thing. Nothing on that
car seems to be too difficult to restore. (except those speakers in
the back)

The Recaro's look better than most I have seen. Mine included :(

As long is it has the original hard parts (Engine, trans, rear) It's
probably well worth whatever he's asking.
