    I’m gonna say no. Frame looks bad, looks like it’s been sprayed with something recently to make it look a little better but not much- and look at that spare, I bet the whole frame looked pretty much like that.
    New tailpipe though, probably because the old one rusted out ;-)

    Yeah, that's not a 14k worthy frame :eek2:
    T3 may bring the value up a bit but I'd keep looking.

    Hard pass. T3 is cool and super rare and all but given the pics, that's about 2x what I'd be willing to pay knowing the pain I was in for with that frame.

    Custom bug spat pattern hood, grill & bumper. Dead Live Oak leaf collection under hood, cowl and lower fenders. Beach sand custom floor covering.
    Those frame pictures remind me of pictures of clean cars surrounded by a big puddle of water. Fleshly washed. Someone just covered the frame rust and did a piss poor job of it.

    That frame has got more zit scars than Martin Castillo. Spray painting it black isn’t going to help. Run far away.
