    Yes, front chassis legs incl front panel are gone. Inner front wings are completely gone at the bottom. Roof was dented and bad. Rear quarters, inner rear wheel arches and sills are gone and rear panel as it had a tow bar mounted that had rust on all 4 holes where the tow bar was mounted. Usual places as door bottoms, rear hatch and wings are also bad.
