BODYWORK.

THE STRUCTURE OF THIS V 8 IS EXCELLENT. LOOR'S SILLS CHASSIS RAILS ARE ALL EXCEELENT AS ARE THE INNER WINGS AND BOOT FLOOR. XTERNALLY. HE V 8 HAS BEEN REPAINTED AT SOME POINT IN ITS DISTANT PAST AND HAS BEEN DONE TO A RESONABLE STANDARD. HERE ARE SIGNS OF AGEING NOW TO MAINLY THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS WHICH HAVE RUSTED. ND THE ONE REAR SEAM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS SOME RUST STARTING TO BUBBLE THROUGH. HERE IS A DENT AT THE TOP OF THE DRIVERS DOOR AND ONE HALF WAY DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE FRONT WING MEETS THE DOOR. HIS IS LIGHT AND IS ON BOTH PANELS. LL THESE DENTS WOULD COME OUT EASILY. HE PAINT HAS A GOOD SHINE BUT IS NOW OLD AND THERE ARE VARIOUS CHIPS AND SCUFFS. OTHING HORRIBLE. G IS STILL VERY PRESENTABLE. HROME IS ALL VERY GOOD. A GLASS SUNROOF IS FITTED AND DOES NOT LEAK. HIS V 8 CAN BE USED AS IS FOR YEARS. HEN TIDYED UP AT A LATER DATE.
