idk... depends on how bad the rust is. and seeing you're from Madison i'm sure it's bad. really depends on you I guess. As much as I would love to own a 185, they are rare as **** and the ones i find in WI are like yours all rusted out. If you do repair the rust, it'll cost alot too. if you are planning to strip it and sandblast or whatever and then cut and weld and repaint, start saving up, i'm currently restoring a ra24 and its slow going. if the engine is still good, find a good body to transfer it too.
