To buy or not to buy...

I bought an 82 Dodge Rampage to restore and take to shows. Problem is...finding body parts is an impossibility ! I live in Western Canada and have searched coast to coast, so does anybody know where after market body parts for these old " L " bodies are made ?
Also, just to give you all a laugh...the thing has a 4spd tranny..not funny in itself..but, even tho theres no problem shifting etc...the stupid thing feels like an 18 wheeler ! the gears are real close together, and if you don't know it's coming...shifting into 4th is a laugh, because you end up reach almost out the passenger door ! go figure eh ? thing runs & drives great, but that 4th gear will get ya...everytime !

Thanks for all your comments guys...

Personally I would pass..... My parents and 2 aunts had one, they were newer, but ALL had problems. Thats probably why he is selling too.

PASS........ the signs are clear.

BTW I have a 1999 Cherokee that will be history by this time next year (warranty expires). It's a piece of s*(crap)*t.

My suggestion is to pass ya going to put more money in it than its worth. The front diff is around a thousand dollars new just itself. If it needs a from diff it needs axles more than likely. A seal isn't any trouble if thats the only thing thats the matter. An engine is no trouble since a chevy 2.8v6 will bolt right up. If ya pocket is low and ya dont want to invest alot in a retro. Pass it up
