NO MAJOR DENTS ONE VERY SMALL ONE ON THE FRONT TRAILING EDGE OF PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL ARCH. NO DEEP SCRATCHES SOME LIGHT SURFACE ONES ON THE ROOF. THE CAR HAS HAD A RESPRAY AT SOME POINT. IM TOLD WHEN IT WAS STORED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS ALTHOUGH IT WAS DRY STORED SO NOT TO RUST IT HAD LIGHT THINGS STORED ON IT. CAUSING PAINT DAMAGE HENCE THE RESPRAY. THIS WAS DONE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. IT HAS SOME FURTHER PAINT WORK SINCE TO THE BOOT LID AND SOME SMALLER AREAS ON THE CAR THE COLOUR MATCH IS PERFECT BUT THE FINISH ISNT BUT STILL RESPECTABLE. THE ONLY PLACE THE PAINT DOESN'T MATCH FOR SOME STRANGE REASON IN THE TOP LENGH OF THE DRIVERS WING IS A SLIGHTLY MILDER GREEN AND THERE IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT TO THE CENTRE REAR OF THE ROOF
THE UNDER SIDE OF THE CARS IS LOVELY. NO WELDING. NO THICK UNDER SEAL. NO BODGES. LIGHT COAT OF UNDER SEAL TO PROTECT IT BUT YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE KEY POINTS TO THE AREAS THAT RUST ON THESE CORTINA'S AND CLEARLY SEE NO REPAIRS HAVE TAKEN PLACE. INNER SILLS. OUT RIGGERS AND SPRING HANGERS ALL PERFECT. TRULY A LOVELY CAR NEVER SEEN A WELDER ATLL TO THE UNDERSIDE AT LEAST
THE CHOME WORK ON THE CAR IS 50 / 50. THE BUMPERS. BONNET BADGE. LOCKING FUEL CAP. LEFT HAND INDICATOR BEZEL AND DOOR HANDLES ARE NOT IN GREAT CONDITION AND REPLACEMENTS WOULD BE A ASSIT TO THE CARS FINISH. THE WHEEL TRIMS. REAR BADGES.
