Just turned down a 78, hardly no rust but bad motor installed and
replacement motor sitting in the boot waiting for installation.  The guy
wanted 300 for everything.  He took it to the local VW garage and got 150
for it.
A note on buying old rusty vehicles:  Unless you are handy with cutting
tools and mig welders, stay away from them.  My friend spent over2k on a
paint and body job on his 74 westy.  It held up for almost a year, looks
like crap now.  I think he's still paying the cc bill.
