Doesn't look too 'rough'
Headlights are clean, front bumper appears to be in good shape.
Does it run?

Hehe, it's rough all right. Rust ate the drivers side rocker under the side skirt and it's creeping around the rear wheel wells. Apparently this car was a Michigan car before Indiana... So it's pretty rusty. The engine is in pieces.. literally. I wouldn't be suprised if we lost parts going down the highway... :blink:

It will be up and running soon. Have two cars before it and some sheet metal to fix the hole. It does have new headlights which is a plus. The front bumber has a gash on the left side but all and all a decent car for what he got it for.
