[urq] how does this happen?

[Steve Mills]

I hate to see any UrQs sent to the crusher also. We just had a bit of a debate on this recently on QW- another eBay listing of an 83 that was in worse shape than this appears to be. I inadvertently PO'd the owner by describing it as a car that only needed a pair of "Yabba Dabba Doo" shoes to complete the package. As with that car, the cost to repair this will unfortunately exceed the value of the finished car for the foreseeable future. And, regardless if the quality if the repair, it will also never be worth as much as one that never rusted in the first place.   

Long way of saying, "Pass". I will cheer loudly from the cheap seats, though.
