I inherited a lightly used Craftsman riding mower from my late stepfather and I have to replace something on it nearly every season.
Last spring the hood fell right off onto the ground. Both hinges snapped. This is the 4th or 5th item on it that has actually broken, including the entire front crossmember that holds the spindles in place. The gas tank split one year and it's one thing after another it seems.
No engine problems though...

After a large bump it would be. . . What quarter panel?

Must be an expensive rear sway bar

Actually might be a nice project, if he gave any useful information (like a price)...

I'd bet that guy will tell you the biggest lie there is: "It just needs freon!"

"All of the panels are original white panels that have never been repaired (no patches)"

Lots of little original "panels" there

Good grief!!! No engine, no interior, no glass, no drivetrain at all, no mechanicals. Nothing but pieces that are going to require a ridiculous amount of assembly and work to even have anything resembling a body. You could do better by making molds and forming your own body.
