Well, what you can't see from this distance is that the repaint was not very good, and the clear coat is peeling off all over the top surfaces. There is a moderate amount of bubbling rust under the paint, particularly around trim. No through and through holes though that I have found. My friend who is going to help me with the body work, recommended stripping all the paint to fully evaluate the rust and previous repair situations. If I am going to take it apart to that degree, I just figured, I might as well go all the way and do everything at once, so it will last until I can pass it along to my son one day. I got this car from the original owner, who passed along the original window sticker. He decided he would keep his 280ZX instead.
