The not so good:
fuel gauge works only when half full to full
pop top in very good condition, but with small holes in the mesh only, lining is clean and solid.
Door locks dont work from outside with the key. need to replace a simple spring inside lock. I just locked and unlocked from inside by entering from the sliding door.
paint is not perfect, a bit uneven, can be buffed and waxed to bring shine and consistency. still looks good though. There are some spots where touch ups were performed with an off colour sample. See rear photo.
some window seals and the front window scrapers are not perfect but are in acceptable shape. Spares are included.
more pictures on request. |
