    So wrong on many levels. The "builder" was too lazy to seam the rear doors in, or shave the door handles. This is a rust bucket from the get-go. Scrap price is too much.

    And the seller says "WITH A PROFESSIONAL CONVERSION DONE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO".

    Besides that it sure does not look like a Florida wagon with that northern rust.
    The side door is kinda nice. Makes it a rampside El CrownRancheroEno.

    Depends on where in FL. I spent many years in south FL and my Mustang I used to own had rust at the bottom of the doors, but as bad as the Vichero. My brother had a Mustang that the doors and hatch also rusted pretty bad. I bought a van that spent it's whole life in Fl and was rusted in the doors and roof. But, these vehicles spent a lot of time near the ocean.

    Yes, this particular execution is horrible but looking through the mess I could see how this conversion could work. The big thing would be ditching the rear doors and creating a proper roofline. Done RIGHT, it'd be pretty neat.
