not to downplay the car - I'd be very happy to drive it - While i was flipping through the BaT pics, I found something interesting. A learning point for us all if you will.
While flipping through the photo's I always start with the front fenders, floor and rockers/sills. After all, rust is what makes these cars expensive to fix.
The underside of the car is quite well preserved, I see lovely floors pics coming by, and I see little that worries me there.
And I myself have abaoft spot for virgin sills; I've spend hours chopping into my rust bucket, learning about how it should have looked like / was constructed, and re-create & weld it all back.
So my eye falls on these dents in the sills; I see 'em and go "blimy, how clumsy to lift a car by the 0.8mm thin edge of the rocker. They do NOT know what they are doing".
Then the next picture is this: It's the shop where it all took place!
Yes, the jack stands are roughly at the factory lift points. But the points where they contact the body are not where a load can be transmitted without damage!
point to be made here: sad to see a shop create damage.
I love dents soooo much more when they have a story connected to them.
Like the time time I drove my car out of the garage, in a hurry being late for a dinner date: With the driver's door still slightly open I caught my tool cabinet with it. Silly me in a hurry. I was young. Now I have a lovely wife, and a dent.
They remain forever connected.
Unfortunately most shop-created dents miss the love factor...
