Picked this up while visiting family this past weekend. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I got there other than I knew it was pretty rough and basically just the cabinet with a few potentially usable parts. I was told that it was pulled from a barn and that squirrels had chewed through all of the wires. I believe it. He had already sold the pf and most other parts. Although he still had the boards, they looked pretty bad to me, and I think new boards make more sense given their condition and what he was asking. I will post better pics later, but as you can see, it is about as rough as they come. My goal is to bring it back to its former glory, but I've never done anything nearly this involved. I'm kinda thinking I've gotten in over my head on this one. What better way to learn though, right?

Thanks for the advice guys! I do have a Lola pf on the way, and the plan is to hardtop it with Marilyn (I assume there are no issues with switching) unless it can be restored. I was told it is in fair condition so expectations are low. Otherwise, I plan on buying everything new wherever possible. I do think I will feel much better about it once I get the cabinet done. I feel more confident about the aesthetics than I do about the electrical.

Quoted from Kerry_Richard:

grindhouse I'm currently redoing my Taxi. My Taxi was in a slightly better condition (not much), than yours.
I put on new decals, and sprayed 4 coats of 2-part auto clear. I sanded with 600 / 800 / 1200 / 1500. Now I have to polish it to mirror shine!!!
I bought my Taxi and it came with ton's of extra parts off playfield (coils / brackets / metal rails and 100's of misc screws ect). I don't know what to do with the extra parts. They are heavy tho.
Let me know if you're interested.
Kerry

Definitely interested! I'll send you a pm, Kerry.
