Some of you may have seen the AA advertisement" Is this car worth saving" that is exactly what I thought of when I wheeled the blue car outside for a quick bath.

With longs like this, Hell Ya. The dark part is just overspray from undercoating. Towed car to German Metal Works along with a spare front fender, to be brought back like new. Very clean unmolested 74 1.8.

One amazing thing that you see very little are the three screws that hold the rocker panels on along the bottom,came out with the use of a flat tip screwdriver, just the way they were put in at the factory.

Front dosen't look too bad from that angle. Neither does the rear 1/4. Would have to see more pics from diferent angles. Is that rust in the sail panel?

Sorry Eric, The PO said that he was approaching the top of a hill and a car was in his lane, he swerved to miss and hit a guardrail and spun around and hit a post.
He had pics of the car before the accident, very nice looking so I have to save it.
