Derek-

I got the car just for the doors, very solid, no rust. Steering box and brake stuff is going back to the guy I got it from.

The steering coupling is only held on by one bolt, so it's dangling down. The steering shaft is lined up with the hole in the firewall.

The damage to the left front fender support is above the frame rail (the wheel well is pushed in about 1/2" (13mm). There is buckling (pictured) under the pedal box and on the fender support near the firewall.

Yes, this is really the major concern on the car. I wouldn't even think about keeping the body just for the damage in the frontend (and the trunk rust around the gas tank concerns me), except for having the later rear suspension.

So, I have one who thinks the car isn't worth saving.

Paul
