Original quarter panels. wheel houses. tail panel. nbsp;floors. frame rails. fenders. doors. etc. Paint condition is poor. paint is about 30 years old. previous owner says it was painted before he bought it. so sometime in the early 1980s. they painted over the original Silver paint. front right fender has a small rust hole. doors have dings. Trunk floor has some surface rust on it but is solid.
