Of course I meant the truck, there is NO fixing skip lol. We don't have the technology, the money, the ability or the care to rebuild him.

Update - I purchased the v10 - from arkansas yesterday for $1600 -

The interior is excellent - The previous owner repainted the car and it appears that the captains chairs and third row look new. the back doors are not cracked -

so we are going to take off - all of the items that are better from the v10 and put onto the v10.

the previous owner had a transmission failure which destroyed the engine.

I did not full understand what I was doing nor did I realize how easy it was to swap the front hood - grill - drivers side,passenger side panels -as I would have taken all of those.

The deal was $1500 delivered - however as you can he swapped the 2 front doors I gave him another $100 and had him put them back on - the drivers side door only has 2 screws so it looks off.

He purchased this v10 for $1500 off craiglist -

the bottoms of the drivers seat and one piece of leather on the drivers armrest need to be replaced otherwise it is very close to mint. It was going to cost me 2700-3400 to reupholster just the leather -

Now during the swap out I am thinking of doing this Car Auto Audio Sound Dampening Deadener 200 SQ FT GTmat 110MIL

to reduce road noise.
the weather stripping looks at lot better here can you swap that or should I just but new? if so where for the entire car?

speakers?

insulating the roof?

I am going to order new carpet. I have found a place but all suggestions are welcome.

If you have no need for the left rear passenger door, I would like to purchase it from you. I have some rust right at the forward window channel corner and it's actually cheaper to swap doors than it is to get it repaired and painted.
