fourtrack (rockey) buying guidence

Forum: 

Found two rockeys ( f70rv) with dl engines on a sale. Both are heavily rusted and not in running condition. They couldnt be started. However chasi seems to be ok. No major accidents.

Iam thinking of buying one...if any one of you could give me some tips or some advice before i make the decision!!

If you intend to only use cha

If you intend to only use chassis and running gear and they are ok...i.e. disgarding the rusting body, I would say buy it...the chassis does not suffer too badly from rust...but the bodies are another story.
The engines are bomb proof if looked after..regular oil changes etc...

If you intend trying to repair a badly rusted body I would forget it...it will have got everywhere...you'll spend a fortune trying to sort it out.
