Hello all I have a yellow 2003.5 MSP, that is completely rusted out and is unsafe to drive. The front strut towers are rusted out and there is some other rust on the car. I am looking for suggestions on the best way to fix this? I am thinking a donor non running MSP, and do a motor swap or swap the parts to fix the yellow one. Thanks in advance.

Cant figure out how to add pictures.. once I figure it out I will post some.

It's as bad as you make it sound, a donor body might be your best bet.

If I were you, I'd swap it all into a P5. (mj)

As others suggested it the only thing that makes sense would be to swap whatever parts are necessary to get a donor car running.

You might have better luck finding a regular protege that is rust free than an MSP and get it painted if you really want a pristine car.

That’s what I’m driving right now, but’s it’s my daily and can’t afford to have the car undriveable for any length of time.
