Thanks for your comments I need to hear this stuff so as long as is constructive its good. I'm not planning to show the car so perfect running board mats are not a huge deal, the mechanical aspect is what I'm really concerned about.

- Recognized the grill is rough.
- Instrument panel needs work, its rough
- Some of the panel fits look a little off I guess not exactly sure what to expect how bad does it seem
- He covered the mats, not as original but a workman like substitute.
- Are you sure about the harness, it was supposedly changed.
- digital photography has some shortcomings the lines ar in the hood ornament, but it needs replateing
- attached close up of hood, does it still look misaligned?
- I guess I don't know why your saying the top is wrong?
- I don't see any signs of rust on the underside, do you in these attachments
- The dent in the radiator fins looks bad
- picture of dash wiring, seems a mess but how many dashes have you looked under, they usually look like this don't they?
- master cylinder and hoses brake cylinders have been replaced that should be OK.
- rear springs look arched in photos but car is on the lift.

Car definitely needs the clutch and the the gauges repaired


There is another similar car for sale that by all appearances is nearly perfect and supposedly needs very little but is substantially more expensive (~14K) so the question becomes is the more perfect car cheaper in the end??
