"needs bodywork"
most expensive part on a 40? the body.
thing that devalues a 40 the most? bodywork.
a dude near me was selling a minimal rust 40 for 7g to start. buy that and get a 3b for 1500 (saw a 3b running when pulled WITH drive train for 1 g on a rover site.) and pop it in. voila ... nice, rust free, slow as molasses, bj 40.
