This isn't to \"bash the car\" and, I will NOT address the multitude of trim/bodywork issues, as those are pretty evident in photos.\n\nConstructive Criticism list:\n1) Strut-to-pitman arm bolts are not OE, nor are they safety wired. This is a safety issue.\n2) The front subframe washers are installed backwards, in some cases this will cause binding under load and result in unpredictable handling.\n3) The center of the front subframe appears damaged and possibly structurally unsound.\n4) the driver-side welded tow arm loop appears to be steel rebar.\n5) the rear subframe (in the last photo) shows indicators of structural rust, it's later shown as spray painted. Same goes for a couple areas on the rear underbody.\n6) the gas tank shows a severe rust bubble line that has been spray painted over.\n7) Front frame rail repair shows a lot of seam sealer and appears awkward. These are red flags when I've discovered plates welded straight over top of a rusty rail.\n8) Driver side floor pan replaced, but no good photo of repair.\n9) Brake hardlines appear kinked in places, need closer look.\n10) Brake booster line needs replacing.\n11) Driver side windshield washer nozzle is mislocated and creatively replaced.\n12) Washer bottle screwed to fender\n13) Extra relays, and electric-tape wrapped harness. Could be an improvement (dedicated headlight relays!), and/or could indicate wiring headaches down the line, especially if new wiring not documented.\n14) Missing hood rubber center stop.\n15) Missing hood rod side seal gaskets (and center hood underside gasket).\n\nThere is more, but that's what I noticed during a quick review of the photos. As always, any potential buyer should always get an independent PPI done. AGAIN, the intent is to be helpful to potential buyers, I don't take pleasure in being overly critical.

Despite the fact the left and right bumper brackets appear to be exactly alike, they are different. On this auction car they have been reversed, causing this awkward looking droop.\r\n\r\nFixing it requires removing the bumper, swapping the bumper brackets and reassembly-realignment. While you're in there, refresh the rubber grommets where the bumper brackets go through the front apron. Hint: install them *before* you slip the brackets through them. It's far easier than waiting to do them last. \r\n\r\nI often remark about a similar assembly problem with chrome bumper E9 Coupes and their \"Grumpy Cat\" appearance. \r\n\r\nIn either case, while it's not a two-minute fix, it's a rookie mistake.", "likes": 7, "timestamp": 1670620430, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 10233330, "authorName": "FJ02", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/fj02/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Yes, lack of specific knowledge aside I have no idea why this RNM auction took place.\r\nA bucket of bolts!
