not renting, it's my fathers.
Not a single dent, scratch, or rust spot on this entire car- although theres a little surface rust that will clean up easily on the driverside door, where the trim used to be. Car spent its whole life in the desert and wasn't ever given a chance to rust. Engine was a little abused, as well as the suspension, but it was never crashed or otherwise damaged.

I'm sure I'll find some, though, once I get it all ripped apart. I *do* have some body work to do, though, in that not all of the trim will be going back on (c-pillar) and will need a fabricated solution.

edit: Just ordered 2 gallons of black 2-part epoxy, I'll be sanding the whole car, washing every part, and painting everything; inside and out, and undernieth

I also plan to suspend my camera in the rafters attatched to a spare laptop and rigging it to take a photo every 30-60 seconds or so, for a nice timelapse video at the end.
