I was asked about floors, frame ,hood & title. .I just pulled up the rug on the passenger side and a one foot square of sheet metal needs to be replaced. Looks like the heater core leaked under the rug and rottted the floor. The floor on the driver's side has 4 small holes . I can take the handle of a hammer and hit the floor and it does not give. Took a hammer and tested the frame and no soft spots. The corner of the hood by the windhield on the passenger side was bent about 10 degrees when the bracket failed and the weight of the hood was on that corner. was straightened but not 100% perfect. There are 2 pee size dents in the hood. The hood opens and closes fine. The spring on the driver's side was removed for some mechanical repair years ago. Spring is in car. Even without that spring hood opens and closes properly. Title is clear and ready to be signed over.
