Questionable wiring (some exposed under car), carpet and door panels need to be replaced. Any opinions on the frame repair? The dog leg is a really critical area.

The welding looks good. The problem I have is stuff looks cleaned up for sale not to do the work right. Under the car looks to have lots of surface rust If I am doing this repair I cleaning up the complete underside then painting and sealing. Even the work around the repair is not cleaned and painted. The engine should be silver for 50 and the heater by pass is rubber instead of metal.

And this just me if I am selling a car I clean the interior.

Nice car but I worry about the amount of rust below. In the underside pics I can see floor rust through.

I want some of the drugs he is on. His BIN is absurd!

Car looks nice so someone may look at body and shiny engine and get bitten on the ass with rust issues down the road.

Yep, it has the "rejuvinated for sale" air about it. Thinks done wrong and some done poorly. The condition does not warrant the BIN price.

he didn't do the repair, a welder did, a welder welds not cleans and paints I think the underside looks good though i don't see the rust through that you see a fresh detail is always scary as to what it hides.

yes the engine should be silver but the heater "hose" is correct for 48-50, the pipe was used from 51 on. I agree its a bit steep for a driver but its getting tough to find a 10-15k coupe that is in this condition.
