Vehicle Detail

The car was a daily driver until my wife developed hip problems making it difficult to enter and exit. She drove it regularly to visit her mother who lives 2 hours away. I have not been able to make any repairs in about 2 years because of 2 back to back cervical spine surgeries. I have several restrictions such as not bending my neck and for most of the last six months, I was not allowed to drive. I cannot sweep, mop, or wash clothes or dishes. So, I cannot work on the car. There are rust issues at the front end of each rocker panel. The other parts of the rocker panels are good. The driver's floor needs repair (not that bad), the right rear wheel trim, and the front fender wells at the rocker panels need repair. There is minor surface rust at the end of each front fender. The hood and trunk have started to peel. The car needs a paint job. The upholstery, carpet, cracked dash, shift cover, and soft top round out the cosmetics. The area under the rear seat has had repairs. The jump seat can be repaired or just be used as a deck. There are seat bottoms made of vinyl that are in excellent condition. Recover the seat back and the rear seat is finished. The hard top is black and is fine. The soft top has a cloudy driver side window, but then, I have not had the top off in about 4 years. The engine has the double row timing chain. It has new spark plugs and runs great. The transmission works without problems. The car has not been driven in 2 years. It has the original radio and cold air conditioning (134a). The windows and door locks work. I repaired the clock about 3 years ago and it still works. I am including new horns and jack point tubes that need to installed. Please ask any questions. I have a 100% feedback score and I would like to maintain it, even if it means not selling the car on eBay. The car runs good and has the double row timing chain. That's very positive. I have taken pictures of just about everything, but ask and I will take more or try to answer any questions.
