Completely disassembled and stripped revealed zero crash damage and the only rust was above the oil tank, the door jambs as pictured and the expected front bumper brackets and filler panels.
For all the unexpected nastiness, broken head studs etc., the relatively rust free and Completely crash free shell made it absolutely worth it.
All of the unexpected issues were all things that would have been replaced in a full restoration anyways, so I feel like I really came out on top.
With the borders closed, getting parts out of the US was a challenge, but fortunately Restoration Design makes all their panels in house in Canada. I ordered up striker panels for each side, front bumper brackets and filler panels.
All arrived within the week and according to the metal shop, fit beautifully.
While the car was in metal, I had the euro side markers and antenna hole shaved. The rear bumper also had the bumperette and other holes filled.
