These are leather wrapped interior components including the full roof assembly/ headliner.) The rust. This car was a coastal car from 1997-2009. It now needs spot repair in the common 6-series areas that need attention. Rear wheel forward fender arches could be fixed on the car. Lower tail light area / plate lamp /rear finish panel needs to be sealed up. Bottom of outer rocker skins & front forward battery box has thru rust. Ideally these repairs should be investment quality, so I have not addressed these with temporary fixes. If you wanted to used glass filler & color matched touch up paint I'm sure this car could be fixed in a weekend. However, winner of this auction also gets a rear clip and inner fender structure from a 116,000 mile western car to assist a complete & proper repair. One way or another, this car should have these areas restored.
