First the pictures (which were requested mind you) :laugh:
She's a solid axle with O/D, which as supposedly been rebuilt. Nice to score a black plate car;
She has some bumps and bruises for sure, like front fender here
Fender is creased and the door skin is toast;
This side is pretty straight;
Need to adjust the door fit some;
Dash and gauges look OK - floors are solid but whole interior will need to be retrimmed at some point but not a priority any time soon;
OK - now for the kicker. The engine was removed but the work due on it was never completed. I know the water pump went out but have a sense it was more major than that. She sat like this since 2008, and one of the plugs was out, so I'm assuming a full rebuild is needed at this point. The engine was kind of just dropped back in, so pulling it was easy.
Engine bay is obviously dirty but will clean up OK - didn't notice any creasing on the fenders or frame so I think she's straight.
