I bought another 80. It is not in the best shape, but it will give me something to tinker on. It is completely rust-free and the body is in good shape considering it's age and mileage. Im not sure if I am going to flip it or give it to my son when he turns 16 in September. I figured I would start a thread to document the progress.
