Default I need you honest opinion guys.

I bought this car a month in a half ago and as i read on here more and more i learn more and more. Although i don't know what you guys paid for your car i paid 15,000 for mine and i am wondering if i might have gotten takin for a ride or paid to much? the car has no rust body is fair shape has a few dings here in there and some bondo in the quarter panels.As well as some alignment issues but engine is extremely sound and tranny shifts good.But i did have to replace the clutch and i also found out it was missing a pilot bearing imagine that but other than that i would like you to honestly tell me what you think negative or positive.this could just be a case of could i have found something better but i don't know?

I don't know but your narrating is giving Frank a run for his money. Please buy some jack stands.

From what you can see in the low res video and if the under frame looks as good as every thing else seems like a good price.
Trim down that rear rubber a bit and you'll be lookin' better....

I second the get some jack stands or build some out of 2X4 cheap and easy.

Looks like a good deal from what I can see. If your going for a full blown PT car, you've got all the original parts and that helps a lot. First thing you need to buy is jack stands...don't be a redneck!

Bump is just a way of keeping your post on top of the list. A lot of guys (like me) hit the new posts button and a bump will keep it there. As long as your posting in the thread it will stay on top. Usually guys who are selling do this when there has been little activity in the thread. I don't think you need to use it or should worry about it.
