wanted WTB: a rust free (do they exist?) roundie to turn into an M2

[Freude am Fahren]

I have recently purchased an S14B20 engine and drivetrain and wish to drop this in a 2002 with round taillights. 

 

In the ideal world, the receiving transplant car has no rust because nothing scares me more than rust and drunk drivers. It has to be a roundie because I love the way those cars look

 

I'm looking for any help I can get from this community since I'm completely new to this world (I'm more established in the E30 world) and have never owned an 02. 

 

Needless to say, I will need plenty of help when the time to incorporate the drivetrain/engine into the car comes but let's cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, please help me find a good car to start this project.

 

I'm not picky with color but rust makes me run for the exit.

I just went through the same search process.  You can find them but it does require some diligent searching.  As pointed out above, take a look at Makemodelsearch.com every day and be prepared to act fast!

Thank you folks. I'd be looking through that website diligently. 

 

Catlin, thanks for sharing your build thread. I'd be sure to peruse that material.

My sincere apologies Mlytle! You're absolutely correct.

This looks like a good candidate.

What do people think? Is the price appropriate? Do you forsee any issues with dropping an S14 in a 1967 car?

 

Thanks,

I contacted him and inquired about the rust. HIs reply:

"Hi.. 
This is the rust spot that I mentioned. It looks like only surface rust. "

 

He then sent me these photos:
