The $100 was not a price to fix it, it was simply a split of the difference between what I paid for it and what I think it is worth modified.
I did see a picture of it. It was not very big and I asked if the manifold had any damage. I was told no it was in perfect condition. I obviously have a different idea of what perfect is. I guess if you pay top dollar for a fully restored rare car and you later findout that there is 3 cans of bondo on the rear quarter panel you should just be happy. It looks perfect right, who cares whats under the paint!
