Well, if you can be coldly cynical for a minute... why would someone (why
would YOU?) sell an MG for $10? Can't be driven? Frame is missing????
Incredible rust? For $10 you might actually end up with someone else's junk.
If you just want some parts for ANOTHER car, it might make sense, but as a
restoration project, I'm of the opinion that I'd rather spend a couple of
$k for a rust-free car to start, than get something riddled with rust that
will cost far more than that to replace the body of.
