Message	Hi I've wanted a slicktop to use as a platform for a project/track car for a while and now I'm considering a higher mileage one (180,000 or so mi), and was wondering if I should have any concerns with this high of mileage. I used carfax and found no accidents or anything, but I'm wondering if its possible to have chassis fatigue or any weakened areas due to all the use. The plan is to do a built TT swap in the future and probably try to keep the NA rear due to the lower gearing. Any other factors I'm not considering? Any specific flaws I should look out for? I'm pretty versed in evaluating mechanical aspects of the car but I'm looking for some wisdom in deciding whether or not to use this slicktop as my platform for an all out track Z. Thanks!
