Got some of the Vista off the trailer.

Only had to cut the roof, the rest of the metal was gone. It was being held together by the back doors. The floors also just pulled out after the back was off.

I think you should give that thing to one of the car builder reality shows and have them restore it.

i would've cut the roof farther foward, to save that whole top section....that's insane though, lol!

The roof section was almost as rusty as the bottom. I lifted 4 of the 5 pieces of gless out by hand because the frames were completely rotted away. If you look at the close up of the cut I made you can see how bad it was up top also.
