I got pretty lucky finding this one, that's for sure. There's some rust repair that needs to be done, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest that 95+% of this thing can be stripped to bare metal and prepped for paint as-is. Of course, I can't leave well enough alone, so much of it will be worked over anyhow, but there's not much that I would consider "necessary".

One of these days I'll get the seats back out of it and post some pictures of the floors: they're pristine, and were actually a huge selling point for me when I first looked at the car. I figured that, if the floors were as nice as they are, the rest of the car stood a fair chance of being in similar condition. So far that logic hasn't disappointed me.
