Okay, I have several photos to post. The first is inside the the passenger door area near the footwell. The paint has lifted over the years and shows primer. A similiar primer is shown in the next set in a small area just above the headlight brow.





Here's the spot above the eyebrow where the paint has rubbed off..

Here is the trunk weatherstrip which as all the rubber on the car appears original. Also notice the sand or grind marks above the doors .

Here are a few more. A stain in the paint on the driver door ? A close up of the olive vinyl flooring. and some pictures of bolts holding the front cap and hood hinges on. Reason for that is that the shims and bolts have a lot of surface rust that the rest of the car doesn't have.

Here are just a few more. I have never seen a key holder like this, the ignition key folds into the tube.







The color on the ash tray and glove box is different than the rest of the dash. This is also true on my low mileage blue car. Don't know why they did it but it's kinda cool...



Heres a couple of the rear wheel wells.
