Exactly. It was dirt cheap, so I never seriously intended to drive it full-time. It's not unsafe...at this point. My friend is on a fixed income and could never afford a car like this, so he's happy and I'm amused to see how it holds up to actually being DRIVEN instead of mostly sitting around.
I'd say it's safe for maybe another year and then it'll have to come off the road for good. Alabama doesn't do inspections, but the frame rails are getting thin, the cross member is going and the floors around the seat mounts are pretty gone.
