Ok fellahs,
A seller sent me some pics of his car. It needs paint - current paint is the correct color, but worn, with chips and dings from age. Truthfully, I was thinking I could probably get away with not painting it - just get a pro touch up and drive it. But then I got some pics that show some rust issues.
It also looks like it has had some work done on the drivers(?) quarter in the past. Definitely not good, but still fixable.
It also has a rust hole in the drivers front torque box, and the passenger torque box looks questionable - maybe patched or spackled at some point?
The odd thing is that the floor pans look pretty good. But maybe closer inspection would reveal pin holes. Not sure.
Pics below. Please post your thoughts on these items and what you think the bill might be for the body repairs. Just ball park, of course.
Thanks fellahs,
