What to look for when buyin a project car

[X-Iceman]

Well I am goin to go check out an old junker in my city. I was just wondering what I should check out. It hasnt been in a bad accident, if any, just has a shot engine. I'll check out the body aliment, and the chassie to make sure there isnt rust or warping happening. And ya, look for rust on the doors etc. Does anyone have any other advice on what to check for? But keep in mind the engine is basically gone to hell. Thanks

Well, if you aren't interested in engine condition, check for rust, dents, etc. Check the interior. Upholstery is easy to fix, cracks and whatnot in the dash is not. See if you can check the electrical systems, power systems (mirrors, windows, locks if applicable). You can mainly determine it from a good look over.
