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.
