*Looks pretty crusty, but appears to be complete. Be ready for serious rust repair if you bid. Did you see the reinforcements they bolted to the top of the shock towers? Yow!
That poor rear spoiler has seen better days too. I expected to see flintstones floors, but instead it looks like someone replaced them in the past. Pretty crusty frame rails and torque boxes though :-/
Poor cat has seen better days, but it looks like someone cared for it enough to at least try and preserve it.
