The car has rust in the exterior and interior panels, the floors and in a number of sections of the chassis/frame.

If you are in Europe, AH Spares sells repair sections, full chassis, and also complete inner body shells (chassis, floors, front and rear bulkheads, etc).

Shrouds are quite good - rear has some dings along the bottom, and front has been pushed in below the grill. Hood (bonnet) is excellent - media blasted and epoxy primed. Doors and trunk lid are repairable. Front fenders are repairable, rears are not so good. Car comes with an extra pair of repairable rear fenders.

Speedometer, tachometer, oil/water gauge (with working water temp), fuel gauge.
