Hello All,

So my 120 isn't unlike many we've seen. It was a daily driver with faded paint, a little bondo on the rear wheel arches, a crack in one fender. All in all not too bad. I'd say the worst of it is the taillight arches if that's the right term are a bit knurled from PO using the wrong screws to fasten lights and so the bulb housing isn't as straight, and flush as I've seen on other 120's.

The trunk handle is also pushed in a tad. I'm not shooting for concourse here, just clean lines and paint. I've already committed $2,000 and the old man is taking his sweet time, and is asking if I can source trunk lid as apposed to him fixing the dent Behind the handle.

My feeling is it's taken 7 months, he's already been paid, I don't think it's being too firm to ask him to just pull the dents, prime and spray the car (outside only), the same shade of green. My new date for pick up is sometime in January, prior date was June.


thanks in advance for your opinions and thoughts.
