Looks like a hellofalot of rust repair.

One thing that concerns me is that I see no pics of rocker work? Fenders not cut off and repairs not done behind them?

Too bad builder didn't weld in W&N (or similar OEM-looking) floor pans/spare tire well.

Makes me wonder how much time and $ went into that. And I love the 5-speed knob for the 4-speed transmission. Cheap upgrade!

And comments about the great restoration? No comments needed, the photos tell the whole story. Sketchy rust repair with a $2500 paint job over everything not removed like door latches and trunk rubber buffers. It is still rusting as it sits, sad.

Lot of overspray in the engine compartment. Guess just in a rush to get the damn car done!

The Egyptian car is kind of fantastic in it's original, altered design. - Looks like some sort of weird, fever-dream Dodge Challenger.

The red coupe looks like a time-bomb, -ticking fast. The over spray in the engine compartment says it all about the "restorer's" attention to detail. Caveat emptor.

E9 seller also has a Lancia 2000 and Mercury Cougar on auction as well.
And a 1927 Rolls Royce Shooting Brake!
The Lancia would be my first choice. 5 speed, front drive, very cool.

No amount of cutting and buffing is going to fix that paint however, looks like it was painted in a barn or Earl Scheib’s.
