Hi Mitch,
Yes, it can be driven. And yes, I drove it home from the shop when the
rust was discovered. But I don't know how it would be on the road. We
kept it below 45 on the way home and it was approx. 10 mi. By the time
we got home the bearing was really roaring loudly. I was worried it
might seize. The battery in it won't hold a charge for long, the one
that was in it died and I had another around here I thought had a little
more life in it than it does. But I can charge it and it will start and
can be driven somewhere close.
Actually a few people were interested in it but they planned to drive it
and I persuaded them that wouldn't be a safe thing to do. FYI, The
connection between the top part of the suspension is not critical IMO,
but the connection where the lower/front link attaches to the chassis
would cause the tires to wear rapidly.
Are you asking me to store it for a while?

Would it help if somebody who wanted you to store the car for a while paid for
it in advance?
Did you drive it to the shop for suspension or wheel bearing work, then drive
it home again when the structural rust was discovered?
Would it be possible for somebody to drive it home carefully, or would it need
to be trailered off your property?
Mitch.

Hey Curley,
Hmm, don't know if I can postpone the salvage route til then. My
wife wants it gone.
She's been pretty patient so far. But I understand. Plus she's got her
eye on the $200 from the scrap yard . ;-/
