Restoring an '86 T/A
I have the shell of an '86 T/A w/ t-tops. The body is in great condition. I was wondering is it worth trying to restore or should I just scrape it?

Depends on what you mean by "worth". If you mean can you restore it and sell it for a profit... not a chance in hell. Whether it's worth it to you depends on your interest in that particular car I suppose.

if you have a bunch of cash in it, You won't turn much of a profit. UNLESS, you're smart and inclined to get the car restored. If you can buy the running gear required to finish the car at a cheap enough price, you might make some money. But, if you're just restoring the car for yourself becouse you really want it. Then go for it. Becouse it cost a good deal of money to make any kind of car. And thirdgens are easy to find parts for. Easy enough anyways.
