Greetings!

Not quite as rust free as it looks. That picture was from a good angle. The paint is pretty rough in a few spots - part of the driver's door is down to primer and it has some patina spots. Only significant rust is behind the rear left tire - ate through a part of the panel. You can see it in this picture - https://imgur.com/a/rE0N5Dy Nothing structural and what is there is definitely recoverable. It actually started life in Alaska but got brought down to Washington at some point. With that in mind, I am surprised by how little rust there is. The motor seems to be in good shape as well. It is leaking a little oil from various gaskets - probably a combination of clogged pcv and old seals. It also has a bit of a funky issue with cold starts which will be the first thing I post about here.
