Hey y'all, so I get my license in a few months, so I've been looking for a car. I've been searching everywhere, on the sides of roads, at pick 'n save, in autoparts parking lots, on craigslist, you name it, I've been looking. I think I found the one, but I'm a little nervous, because it'll need some work. It's a 1981 Chevy Chevette with 26,000 original miles, a flawless interior, but a not so perfect exterior. Along the rear wheel wells, the bottom of the doors, and along the bottom of the windshield it's rusting, not bad in some places, but it is still rust.My dad and his friends love cars and love to work on them so I asked, and they'd be game to do it, but apparently rusting is what they're known for. I'm not sure I feel comfortable asking them for all this work to get done, all the sanding, painting, and repairing will add up. The flip side is, I can get this car for under $1,000. HELP ME!! I'm falling for it, but I don't want to fall into a rust pit. ANY advice would be welcomed! THANKS
