1988 turbocoupe. It was my first car but has frame rot unfortunately. Good running stock motor, smooth transmission, good rear end on it. The doors are rust free and the front bumper is intact. The bumper is not ripping off the lower part. I can not part the car (have to keep it at parents house after restoration shop said to come pick it up it was more than they thought it was worth doing).
Tan interior in decent shape.
I'd like 750 since it's a complete car with good driveline and parts.
Open to offers since I unfortunately have to get rid of it or find a shell to transplant into mine.

Where you at my man? I've saved numerous 80's fords by plating frames with (HSS) high strength steal its a common occurance on these fords to rot in the shock tower.. IDE recommend a second opinion as long as there it some meat there and the front end hasn't shifted it can be repaired IMO.. I'll try and post some pics of some jobs I've done..
Pic 1 before
Pic 2 after sandblast and epoxy primer applied
Pic 3 inner structure of frame rail plated with a 1/16 inch heavy duty metal ... Tubes were inserted to prevent smashing of frame pocket when crossmember bolts are tightened(factory has these usually gone from rust...

That work looks amazing. The issue is the rear also has issues in trunk area apparently where the shocks are. I'm trying to find a shell. I don't think its that bad and I was going to just change the whole front to a mustang frame and m and m kmember, lower control arms and switch to coil over. So basically from the fire wall forward was going to be replaced

It's for parts not being parted out, you would have to take whole car
