Information about the car
The car is in very good condition considering it’s age. The main frame and body supports are free of rust and rot and are in good condition.
The only issue on the car currently is what seems to plague all old Fords. Arch rusting. The rear arches are the worst on the whole car. The majority of the rust on the arches is surface rust and will just need sanding back to bear metal and treating. But on the drivers side passenger door rear arch it’s got a little worse and eating into the metal more. That will need grinding out and filling then treating. Of course there is minor rust on the front arches, skirt of the car and on the front due to stone chips not being treated, but that’s expected and not major. The main area of concern are the rear arches. (Pic Here Of Rust)
