Recent Fixes: Stainless exhaust system recently welded, AC charged and working well, great running car requiring very little maintenance.

Issues List: minor rust on the passenger fender bottom and around the headlights, all of which has been treated with POR-15, and could be eliminated by replacing the fender(s). The hard top also has rust around the bottom back. Otherwise, there is no rust on the vehicle. The soft top has a small tear in it, but a replacement top is in the trunk ready to install, as is the hood pad.
